This project, located in the South East of the United Kingdom, aims to conserve the HMS Victory ship to endure in an open environment for the next 50 years. The procurement process followed an open procedure above the threshold with a part-time consultancy requirement over two years, extendable for an additional year based on performance. The initial tender was published on 3rd June 2024, with the contract period from 31st July 2024 to 31st July 2026. The total contract value is £50,000, with an awarded contract amount of £48,850 to Evolving Forests Ltd, announced on 27th September 2024. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in timber and business consultancy services, as the project requires dedicated expertise to meet the stringent conservation requirements. Businesses capable of providing high-quality, specialist timber consultancy will find this contract beneficial for establishing or enhancing their presence in the conservation industry. Additionally, with the procurement process being open and above the threshold, it allows for competitive participation, fostering growth and networking opportunities within the heritage conservation sector. ## Notice The NMRN is seeking part-time specialist timber consultancy support over 2 years on a call-off/task basis. There will be an option to extend for 1 year depending on performance. This is to support the NMRN's aim of the HMS Victory Conservation Project to deliver a fully-conserved ship, able to survive in an open environment for the next 50 years without major work beyond a programme of planned maintenance. This conservation project began in early 2022. Site Visits are available, with details on arranging visits within the ITT Documentation.
