This opportunity falls under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services, based in Swindon, United Kingdom. The tender period is open until 15th January 2016, with a contract start date of 21st January 2016 and an end date of 25th January 2017. The total value of the contract is set at £12,000, with a minimum value of £8,000, using the open procurement method. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses engaged in research and development, particularly those with expertise in heritage protection and environmental consultancy. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to submit bids, as the tender specifically welcomes their participation. Companies that can review and enhance methodologies for managing historical records would be particularly well-suited for this contract, enabling them to contribute to best practices within the sector while expanding their portfolio in public sector engagements. ## Notice As part of the National Heritage Protection Plan (NHPP), Historic England (then called English Heritage) funded a number of projects to improve the information about early prehistory (the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic) that was available on Historic Environment Records (HERs). These were commissioned through a call for proposals which did not specify a particular methodology but invited individual local authorities to devise their own approaches. With most of these projects successfully completed and a second round of enhancement projects anticipated as part of the Historic England Action Plan, we now wish to review the different approaches taken and set out what the sector considers to be best practice for this kind of work. This will not only help ensure that future HE funding is used most appropriately and effectively but also, recognising that we can only directly assist a handful of the 85 or more HERs in England, provide helpful guidance for local authorities seeking to undertake such work with other sources of funding.
