Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Stanmer Park Archaeology PA2 Feasibility Study" was managed by East Sussex County Council. The project focuses on research and development services, specifically investigating archaeological resources within Stanmer Park, a Grade II Registered Park and Garden. The study aims to enhance understanding of both designated and undesignated resources. This process falls under the 'services' category, with a procurement method classified as 'limited' via competitive quotation due to its value being below threshold. The contract has been awarded to Stantec Limited, with the contract period from 19th January 2026 to 18th January 2027. The study spans various regions across the United Kingdom, recognising the importance of local and national archaeology in park management.

This tender offers valuable opportunities for businesses with expertise in archaeology, heritage consultancy, and ecological management, especially those experienced in integrating heritage conservation with ecological objectives. While the procurement specifically precludes SMEs and voluntary sector bodies, larger organisations with a solid track record in research and development services will find this contract advantageous. Engaging in this project allows such businesses to expand their portfolio in heritage and ecological consultancy, contributing to the sustainable management of historical sites. With a contract value of £62,800, it presents a beneficial opportunity for industry players to demonstrate their ability to manage complex archaeological projects within a significant cultural landscape.
