This project falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on wood and timber, with the procurement status marked as planned. The anticipated future notice date for this procurement opportunity is 1st March 2022, as part of an initiative to ensure the vessel's preservation for the next 50 years. The NMRN is likely to implement a framework-type service agreement through this tender. This tender presents a significant opportunity for timber suppliers, sawmills, and forestry businesses within the UK to participate in a prestigious conservation project. Companies that possess the flexibility to adapt to changing requirements and comply with stringent environmental standards are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, potential suppliers will have the chance to engage in a market event aimed at fostering broader market interest and assessing the appetite for timber supply, which can lead to ongoing partnerships in future conservation efforts. ## Notice The aim of the HMS Victory Conservation Programme is to deliver a fully-conserved HMS Victory, in an open environment, and in a condition to survive for the next 50 years without major work beyond a programme of planned maintenance. The conservation work includes replacement of all external and some internal planking in a staged programme; it is intended that the ship remains open to the public throughout the planned work. Core to the programme is the procurement of Timber, primarily Oak, to meet the planned Hull Conservation programme. Where solid timber of sufficient size and quality is not available the NMRN will require the supply suitable timber for lamination in NMRN's workshops.

In addition to being a unique historic asset, HMS Victory continues to be a significant visitor attraction within the setting of No. 2 Dock and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard whilst continuing to serve as a commissioned warship and the Flagship of the Royal Navy's First Sea Lord. Outside of Museum operational hours, HMS Victory fulfils a number of cultural and ceremonial roles for the Royal Navy such as awards and presentations, VIP receptions and Dinners, and Change of Command ceremonies. The aim of the HMS Victory Conservation Programme is to deliver a fully-conserved HMS Victory, in an open environment, and in a condition to survive for the next 50 years without major work beyond a programme of planned maintenance. The conservation work includes replacement of all external and some internal planking in a staged programme; it is intended that the ship remains open to the public throughout the planned work. Core to the programme is the procurement of Timber, primarily Oak, to meet the planned Hull Conservation programme. Where solid timber of sufficient size and quality is not available the NMRN will require the supply suitable timber for lamination in NMRN's workshops. In addition to planking, additional solid 'curved' timber will be needed to replace items such as knees and beams (compass timber), and the timber supplier(s) will be expected to work with the NMRN to source and produce such items. To achieve this requirement, the NMRN recognise that the procurement model is likely to consist of a 'framework-type' service agreement, separated into Lots associated with the various elements of Timber supply. The NMRN are seeking a range of suppliers who meet the following: Flexibility and Responsive to Change - Suppliers who are flexible in their approach and can cope with changing environments, processes, and requirements. - Suppliers who can operate seamlessly during the whole duration of the contract. Compliance - Suppliers who fully comply with all contractual obligations, national, and international laws. - Suppliers who fully comply with environmental requirements, as specified by the NMRN. This notice intends to identify suppliers who would like to express an interest in providing these services and to invite all interested parties to attend a Market Engagement Event. The purpose of this early market engagement is to: - secure wider market interest in the supply of Timber, including Timber buyers, sawmills, forestry and suppliers/distributors; - to assess the level of appetite from different providers in the delivery of such provision; and - to test with the market the potential delivery and procurement model. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/005388-2022 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Mar 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NMRN OPERATIONS | | Locality | PORTSMOUTH | | Post town | Portsmouth | | Postcode | PO1 3NH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ31 Portsmouth | | Local authority | Portsmouth | | Electoral ward | Charles Dickens | | Westminster constituency | Portsmouth South | | Delivery location | TLJ31 Portsmouth | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 03 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products ### Codes - 03410000 - Wood - 03419000 - Timber ## Release History - 28 Feb 2022 at 11:31 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/005388-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.nmrn.org.uk - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0063ce24-ac0a-40fa-b678-d699430a7ac7 - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA32850 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
