## Summary

The National Museum of the Royal Navy is seeking suppliers for the "Supply of Timber Adhesives for the Conservation of HMS Victory" project. This procurement opportunity falls under the goods category with a focus on glues. The tender deadline is on 13th October 2023, and the contract period is planned to start on 6th November 2023 and run until 6th November 2028. The procurement method is an open procedure above the threshold, offering opportunities for small and medium enterprises to participate. The project location is in Portsmouth, England.

This tender opportunity by The National Museum of the Royal Navy invites businesses to provide timber adhesives for a significant conservation project on HMS Victory. Companies involved in producing and supplying timber adhesives, especially those with expertise in the types required for teak frame repairs and oak plank lamination, are well-suited to compete. The project aims to ensure the conservation of the historic ship for the next 50 years, offering long-term business growth prospects for the successful supplier. Interested parties are encouraged to review the ITT documentation for detailed adhesive requirements and to submit their proposals within the specified tender period.

## Notice

The aim of the HMS Victory Conservation Project is to deliver a fully-conserved ship, in a condition to survive for the next 50 years without major work beyond a programme of planned maintenance. This project began in summer 2022 and is to take 10 years to complete. The conservation work includes the replacement of all external and some internal planking and structural elements. The timber to be used in the ship is a mixture of teak and oak which will need to be laminated to meet required dimensions. The National Museum is therefore seeking a supplier for the next 5 years to provide timber adhesives for teak frame repairs and oak plank lamination. To ensure the project meets its objectives, the National Museum has undertaken rigorous and extensive materials trials to determine the most suitable timber adhesives which are detailed below under requirements. Details of the adhesives required can be found in Annex A of the ITT Documentation. Clarification Questions are to be sent to tenders@nmrn.org.uk Extension to Deadline issued 10th October 2023
