Notice Title

Framework Agreement for Archaeological Services in relation to Marine Protection

Notice Description

1.3 DESCRIPTION OF SCOPE/SPECIFICATION In order to meet our commitment to the European Convention on the Protection of Archaeological Heritage (revised) 1992 and to provide for the conservation and enhancement of significant marine heritage assets, Historic England is seeking to procure, within a Framework Agreement, assessment functions to support marine protection and management for the two-year period April 2022 to March 2024 (inclusive). As part of the response to the Marine Review, HE has determined to replace the historic, single contractor approach with a Framework Agreement. This is to provide a more flexible response utilising a wider range of specialist contractors and thereby helping to support and develop capacity in the sector. The projects covered by this Framework Agreement will address those sites and assets most at risk through neglect, decay or other threats within UK territorial waters adjacent to England.
