## Summary

The National Museum of the Royal Navy is currently seeking tenders for the "LCT7074 - Canopy Steelwork Tender Package," an initiative in the construction industry aimed at developing a steel frame canopy for the LCT 7074, the last surviving Landing Craft Tank in the UK. This procurement is at the tender stage, with submissions closing on 29 November 2018. The total contract value is estimated at £400,000, with a minimum value set at £200,000.
