## Summary

The Nottingham City Council is currently undertaking a tender process for the project titled "Nottingham Caves Guide (CPU 3167a)," which falls under the industry category of tourist guide services. This procurement opportunity is located in Nottingham, East Midlands, with the tender period concluding on 17th September 2018, before the contract commences on 24th September 2018 and lasts until 22nd March 2019. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a total value of £10,000 available for the selected contractor to provide services that promote the conservation and development of the city's notable caves.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses engaged in heritage tourism, structural engineering, geology, planning, and architecture, particularly those with experience in conservation and development in sensitive heritage contexts. By creating a technical guide aimed at cave owners and managers, this project not only supports sustainable development but also draws attention to the creative potential surrounding Nottingham's caves, making it an ideal opportunity for experts in these fields to showcase their skills and contribute to the city's heritage-led initiatives.

## Notice

The Nottingham Caves Survey has helped to record the most significant caves within the city; has developed a methodology for decision-making with regards to caves within the planning process and has considered the resource in terms of heritage-led tourism. This commission builds on the project to promote the use, conservation, and sensitive development around the cave resource in Nottingham. The audience for the products is primarily cave owners and managers but it is also hoped that it would engage with the public. This commission is to produce a technical guide for cave owners clarifying the appropriate development, conservation, and creative uses of caves. This would provide a framework for developers and their professional advisors - giving a structured approach to site investigation, heritage assessment, options appraisal, and risk management to support sustainable development. The technical guide spans archaeology, structural engineering, geology, planning, and architecture. The successful applicant should provide demonstrable experience of resolving development, conservation and use issues within Nottingham's Caves or directly comparable
