Timber Lamination Jig for HMSV Project

Description

The purpose of this Planned Procurement Notice (PPN) is to alert potential suppliers to an opportunity to fabricate a large dimension timber lamination jig for the production of planks for conservation of HMS Victory. The aim of the HMS Victory Conservation Programme 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. The NMRN is seeking a fabrication contractor to produce a lamination jig for the production of large dimension timber elements for use in the conservation of HMS Victory's hull. The PPN notice contains Appendix 1 which has concept images of the proposed lamination jig which have been produced by shipwrights based on current known requirements, previous experience and the constraints of the conservation workshops in the Historic Dockyard. Due to the secure location of the Historic Ships Workshop we may not be able to undertake site visits during the PPN. It may be possible under the tender procedure once live. No further supporting documents are available at the time of issuing this PPN however clarifications should be referred to tenders@nmrn.org.uk.
