## Summary

The National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) is seeking rigging materials trials for the conservation of HMS Victory within the services category. The procurement process involves a tender for a laboratory to test materials for the ship's rigging as part of a 5-year call-off contract. The contract, valued at £120,000 GBP, requires electronic and written submissions with a tender deadline of 17th April 2023, followed by an award period starting on 19th April 2023, held by NMRN Operations based in Portsmouth, United Kingdom.

This tender presents an opportunity for specialist laboratories offering technical testing, analysis, and consultancy services to compete for a long-term contract with NMRN.

The initiative aims to support the long-term preservation of a historic vessel and offers potential for growth through consistent work over the project period specified in the contract.

## Notice

The National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) is leading on the conservation of HMS Victory to ensure the long-term preservation of this world-class historic vessel and exemplar of a Royal Navy capital warship from the Age of Sail. The aim of the HMS Victory Conservation Project is to deliver a fully-conserved ship, able to survive in an open environment for the next 50 years without major work beyond a programme of planned maintenance. Conservation works began in early 2022. The project scope includes the replacement of all external planking and some internal elements and the progressive re-rigging of the ship. The NMRN is now looking for a five (5) year call-off contract with a laboratory to undertake testing of candidate materials for use in the rigging of the ship
