This project falls under the services category, specifically focusing on technical testing, analysis, and consultancy services. The tender is currently active and is being carried out via an open procedure, with the tender period set to close on 15 April 2020. The total estimated value of the contract is £50,000, and the successful contractor will commence work on 4 May 2020, concluding by 11 September 2020. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in materials testing, research laboratory services, or the conservation sector, particularly Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). Companies that specialise in materials innovation or have expertise in developing solutions for heritage conservation will be well-positioned to compete for this project. Engaging in this procurement process could pave the way for future collaboration with a prestigious institution and enhance visibility within the public sector. ## Notice HMS Victory, situated within Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, is a World Class Historic Vessel and an exemplar of a capital warship from the Age of Sail. In addition to being a unique historic asset, not only as an exemplar of a capital warship from the Age of Sail, but as a warship with a famous fighting career, HMS Victory continues to be a significant visitor attraction within the setting of No. 2 Dock and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. Furthermore, HMS Victory continues to serve as a commissioned warship, and is the Flagship of the Royal Navy's First Sea Lord. It is also for these reasons that it is imperative to sustain her considerable heritage values for this and future generations. The overall aim of the conservation project is to keep HMS Victory in the open air for 50 years, requiring only routine conservation maintenance. The NMRN wishes to conduct materials trials of paint, caulking materials and fixings in order to evaluate and down-select the materials most suited to meet the long term requirement, and is seeking assistance to conduct these trials.
