The brief

The National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) has launched a search for a base build contractor to support the delivery of the works packages for the new Royal Marines Experience Museum (RMEM) offer to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard (PHD).

The reimagination of Boathouse No.6 - a Grade II* listed building constructed in 1845 and one of the earliest examples of a building with load-bearing iron -frames - will bring ground-breaking new visitor experiences to the site.

The vision of the whole project is to re-imagine the magnificent 1840s-built, Grade II* listed Boathouse 6, as a centre for activities for all ages, where heritage is valued, accessible and relevant.

It will become home to the Royal Marines Experience Museum, a special exhibition gallery, a family-focused marines-themed laser quest, and a dual-use public programme and conference facility.

The base build contractor will be procured during the RIBA Stage 3 coordinated design stage using a two-stage tender process.

The procurement will be via a Restricted Tender process and will include Contractor Design Portions.

A two-stage tender process allows the contractor to be involved in the project during the detailed design stage (RIBA Stage 4).

This appointment is being undertaken under a Restricted Tender Procedure therefore, there is a two-stage process for this tender.

There is an initial pre-qualifying phase whereby the NMRN wishes to evaluate potential bidders for suitability for this tender.
