Description
The Department for Transport ("DfT") intends to procure a supplier to deliver mast reduction works (cutting and removal) on the SS Richard Montgomery ("SSRM"), a protected wreck located in the Thames Estuary. The contract will cover all associated works necessary to deliver mast reduction and disposal in a safe, controlled, and environmentally responsible manner. The supplier will be expected to provide a full range of activities and resources necessary for the planning and execution of mast reduction on the SSRM. This is likely to encompass: • Development of a detailed methodology and plan for mast reduction. • Completion of any outstanding technical surveys (for example, geotechnical / UXO- related) required to inform safe delivery of the works. • Provision of all vessels, plant, equipment, and personnel required. • Safe cutting, lifting, and disposal (or repurposing) of the mast structures. • Effective implementation of environmental protections, health and safety measures, and UXO / pUXO management procedures. • Final clearance and demobilisation of the site. Certain activities will fall outside the scope of the contract, including those that will be undertaken by DfT or its specialist advisors in the planning, assurance, and management of the project (for example, preparatory surveys, design assurance, permit applications). A more detailed description of the intended scope of works is provided within the Request to Participate ("RTP") document to support suppliers' understanding of the requirement. A full statement of requirements, setting out the technical, operational and safety aspects of the works, will be provided as part of the tender documents during the tendering stage
