What is being bought

Published requirement description

Within Great Hall at the National Railway Museum (York) there are 24 roads surrounding a turntable. We are in the process of moving a number of our rail vehicles into new locations and have discovered roads that are failing structurally, causing the rails to move out of gauge. The Museum is seeking to appoint Contract Administration and QS Services for the next 13 repairs to the turntable roads – Roads 3, 4, 5, 7, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22 and 23.
