## Summary

Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Specialist trade, supply and installation of Grade 2 listed glasshouses in aluminium and timber." This project, under the industry category of recreation, culture, and religion, is located in Cardiff, UK (Region UKL22). The project involves restoring two Victorian glasshouses: the Flower House, which will be replaced with a replica aluminium structure, and the Grade 2 listed Vinery, which will be restored in timber. The building works are planned to be completed by March 2025, with the procurement method being a request for information at this initial stage to gauge market interest. Potential suppliers are invited to register their interest by contacting the Museum Wales representative, Richard Boxall.

The process is designed to allow interested parties to provide expertise and potentially secure lucrative contracts divided into separate work packages for timber and aluminium glasshouses. This offers flexibility for businesses to bid on parts of the project that match their capabilities, promoting growth and visibility within Wales's cultural and heritage sectors.
