HMS Warrior Dry Docking & Mooring Works- Professional Team PIN

Description

HMS Warrior was built in 1860, is berthed at the National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) Portsmouth and was last dry-docked in 2004 in the Portsmouth Naval Base (PNB). NMRN are planning to dry-dock HMS Warrior for hull, onboard moorings and rigging maintenance, when a dry-dock is available within the PNB. The availability of a dry-dock is dependent on Royal Navy requirements so the dry-docking may be during the winter of 23/24 or winter 24/25. Whilst the ship is in dry-dock, the permanent sea moorings are to be serviced or renewed and her berth dredged. HMS Warrior was the Royal Navy's first iron hulled warship, launched in 1860 in Blackwall, London. The ship featured innovations such as hybrid propulsion of steam engines and sail, and advanced weaponry for the time. The speed of innovations at the time meant she was placed in reserve a mere 12 years after commissioning. Warrior became a training ship, then an oil hulk in Pembroke, Wales until being saved for preservation in 1979. She was fully restored at Hartlepool before returning to Portsmouth in 1987. These requirements may change in scope and available funding, so this is currently indicative of at the time of writing. Full information can be found in the full Prior Information Notice attached to this notice. Suppliers interested in participating should register their interest by Midday of Friday 23rd June 2023, during this time we can engage in dialogue with interested in suppliers. The NMRN may ask its appointed consultants from Namur Projects Ltd (Project Support) and DCE Ltd (Procurement Consultant) respectively to engage with suppliers on behalf of the organisation. Experience working in Historic/Heritage settings would be preferred for suppliers applying. Please send an email expressing your interest to; tenders@nmrn.org.uk
