Appointment of Services for Figurehead Conservation

Following a successful application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the NMRN is looking to appoint Icon-accredited conservation services to undertake the conservation of three figureheads in the museum's collection. The figureheads are those of HMS Queen Charlotte, HMS Seaflower, and HMS Martin.

The NMRN requires the above-listed figureheads to be scanned, conserved, and painted to a stable and displayable standard. Conservation works should follow Icon's ethical guidance and principles. The conservation of all three figureheads should be completed by May 2025.

Site Visits to see the figureheads MUST be booked in advance with details located within the ITT Documentation on Page 19. This is due to the figureheads located within secure establishments and requiring security pass arrangements to be made. Site Visits may be booked by emailing jenna.taylor@nmrn.org.uk and emma.callaghan@nmrn.org.uk

Clarification questions are to be sent to tenders@nmrn.org.uk

Update- Condition Reports for all 3 figureheads, please express interest by emailing tenders@nmrn.org.uk to access these.
