## Summary

The National Museum of the Royal Navy has awarded a contract for the design and build of environmental sustainability and resilience upgrades for Cobham Hall at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovilton, Somerset. This project involves the installation of solar panels, new roof coatings, rainwater management systems, and energy-efficient lighting. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure and split into two lots: Lot 1 covers roof-related works and lighting installation, while Lot 2 focuses on ground-based solar array installation. The contract, valued at £825,000, started on 31 October 2023 and is set to be completed by 31 March 2024.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs specialising in renewable energy, construction, and environmental services. Companies capable of handling design and build contracts involving photovoltaic solar panels, advanced coating systems, and energy-efficient installations will find themselves well-suited to participate. The project not only boosts the contractor's portfolio but also contributes to environmental sustainability efforts, potentially leading to future contracts with similar requirements.

## Notice

The Fleet Air Arm Museum (FAAM) is part of the National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) and houses the historic Naval aircraft element of the NMRN Collection. The reserve collection storage building (Cobham Hall) is situated at Yeovilton, Somerset, on a site positioned opposite the main Museum site and having its own access. The project will appoint up to two prime contractors on a 'Design and Build' contract to work with the NMRN Conservation Team and local FAAM Operation and Facilities Team, to design and install a package of works: a) Installation of Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Panels to 30% of Cobham Hall south-west roof elevation (the maximum given roof loading data), with associated battery storage, estimated to be in the region of 400 - 500 panels providing 176kWp b) Provision of surface preparation and a new roof coating across whole roof elevation and end panels of Cobham Hall. To include Delcote architectural coating system (or similar) incorporating Seamsil to the edges and lap ends. c) Provision of new rainwater management system (rainwater goods). d) Installation of energy-efficient light-fittings throughout Cobham Hall. e) Installation of additional ground-level PV array to north-west of Cobham Hall, estimated at 200 panels providing 132 kWp The tenderer is required to design, manage and install every aspect of the works as shown. The Museum has agreed to split the works into two lots, but is not willing to split the scope of work into further fractions. However, contractors can appoint sub-contractors to complete some elements of the work. The works have been clearly split as below: - Lot 1- Design & Build - Roof / Panel Coating, Rainwater Goods, Solar PV (Roof Array) and Lighting Install (as one bid) Lot 2- Design & Build - Ground Based Solar Array Install. Tenderers can choose to bid for either or both of the lots but must make this clear within their submission. Tenderers cannot bid for individual elements of Lot 1. Full specification can be found in Annex A.
