Notice Title
Provision of Minor Archaeological Services
Notice Description
Historic Environment Scotland (HES) requires a call off contract to be put in place for minor archaeological services.
Lot Information
Lot 1
Historic Environment Scotland (HES) requires a call off contract to be put in place for minor archaeological services at HES Properties in Care (PICs). Conservation, maintenance and presentation programmes at PICs often necessitate ground disturbance, or present opportunities for standing building recording. HES wishes to ensure that works to deposits or structures are the subject of archaeological survey, monitoring and recording, where appropriate. There are over 300 PICs located throughout Scotland which HES operate under a Scheme of Delegations from Scottish Ministers. The scale of each call-out will be driven by the needs of the programme of works, and will often be small scale e.g. a watching brief, but can include larger scale services such as standing building recording, archaeological evaluation trenching, metal detecting survey and geophysical survey.
Renewal: The contract will be in place for an initial period of 24 months, with the option to extend the contract by two further 12 month periods at the discretion of HES, giving a total potential contract length of 48 months.
