This tender represents a valuable opportunity for contractors specialising in painting and maintenance of maritime structures, especially those adept at handling historical vessels. Tenders were encouraged from SMEs, offering significant growth potential for businesses in the restoration and painting industry. Engaging in such a high-profile project with the National Museum of the Royal Navy not only promises immediate financial benefits but also enhances the reputation and portfolio of the winning contractor. Businesses experienced in painting large-scale naval and maritime structures will find this opportunity well-suited to their capabilities. ## Notice The National Museum of the Royal Navy is seeking to appoint a contractor to paint HMS Caroline, the ship, including her shipside and superstructure. On her decommissioning from the Royal Navy, HMS was placed into the care of the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth, though remaining moored in her position in Alexandra Dock in Belfast. In late 2016 she was towed a short distance into Dry Dock to have her hull inspection, cleaned and repainted. She returned to the Alexandra Dock on completion of the works and was placed into the dock stern first. Although no longer capable of making way under her own power, Caroline remains afloat and in excellent condition. To increase Caroline's life expectancy, and to keep her as good condition as possible this ITT has been raised to prepare and paint the entire ship including shipside and superstructure details which can be found in the statement of requirements, drawing and photos is found in the Annexes within the ITT and by request by emailing tenders@nmrn.org.uk The contract length is indicative and will be informed by the proposals by bidders. The NMRN strongly recommend interested bidders to visit the site and ship to understand the requirements of this bid. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9db0333a-a883-4512-bd9b-c64a7a2a259f | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 31 Jul 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 4 Aug 2024 | | Contract period | 26 Aug 2024 - 30 Sep 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £143,389 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE ROYAL NAVY | | Locality | PORTSMOUTH | | Post town | Portsmouth | | Postcode | PO1 3NH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ31 Portsmouth | | Local authority | Portsmouth | | Electoral ward | Charles Dickens | | Westminster constituency | Portsmouth South | | Delivery location | TLN Northern Ireland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | TIS (NGA | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45442100 - Painting work - 45442121 - Painting work of structures ## Release History - 4 Sep 2024 at 09:42 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9db0333a-a883-4512-bd9b-c64a7a2a259f - 25 Jul 2024 at 10:59 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/193ee4cf-b40e-497e-896e-471a4dcd996a - 19 Jul 2024 at 11:30 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/193ee4cf-b40e-497e-896e-471a4dcd996a - 28 Jun 2024 at 18:12 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/193ee4cf-b40e-497e-896e-471a4dcd996a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9db0333a-a883-4512-bd9b-c64a7a2a259f 4th September 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/193ee4cf-b40e-497e-896e-471a4dcd996a 25th July 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/93b015f2-235e-4da6-9857-bd3744373dfb Invitation to Tender document, with Annex D-E-F must be completed in full with all relevant or requested documentation emailed as part of your submission. - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1b4010f2-3e87-4c83-8d58-8acf4568b6fa Sample of the NMRN's Terms and COnditions for this tender, this does not represent the final version. - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/203eb269-966e-4250-8660-e974b7b525da ITT for the HMSC Hull Painting.
