## Summary

The National Museum of the Royal Navy is seeking bids for the development of the QEC Playground at Fleet Air Arm Museum, located in Ilchester, England. This procurement falls under the works category and has an estimated budget of £75,000. The tender process, classified as an open procedure, is currently active, with a submission deadline set for 31 January 2017. The contract period is expected to commence on 1 April 2017 and conclude by 31 July 2017, providing a tight timeline for interested parties.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in playground equipment and construction works, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Competitors will need to engage with the unique requirements of creating a play area inspired by the flight deck of HMS Queen Elizabeth. Companies with experience in themed playground installations and public space development would be well-positioned to succeed in this bidding process, leveraging their expertise to contribute to a project enhancing community engagement and local heritage.

## Notice

The launch of two new aircraft carriers (Queen Elizabeth class) presents an exciting opportunity for both visitors and our local Navy community to engage with the Museum, our collection and our story. The Museum will capitalise on this opportunity by developing a significant new play area inspired by the flight deck of HMS Queen Elizabeth that will be supported by new signage and branding across the site.
