## Summary

The National Museums Scotland is seeking contractors for the remediation of three large aircraft undercarriages as part of an active tender process. This project, valued at £100,000, is set within the recreational and cultural services industry category and is located at the National Museum of Flight in East Fortune, Scotland. The tender period is open until 1st July 2021, with bids opening on the same day. Contractors interested in this opportunity should submit their proposals electronically by the closing date, and all relevant documents can be accessed online.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in aviation repair, historical restoration, or corrosion treatment services. Given the specific requirements for structural repair work due to high levels of corrosion, firms with expertise in heritage aircraft maintenance will find themselves well-suited to compete. Winning this contract could enhance a company's portfolio and visibility within the public sector, reinforcing its position in a niche market while contributing to cultural heritage preservation.

## Notice

National Museum of Flight in East Fortune, Scotland includes displays of three aircraft currently held externally. These three aircraft require work to their undercarriages and wheels - all three aircraft are displaying high levels of corrosion. This is due to the time displayed outside in a corrosive environment near the coast, surrounded by farmland. National Museums Scotland is now seeking to appoint a contractor with the necessary skills and expertise to carry out the structural repair work to these three aircraft.
