This procurement falls within the research and development services sector, specifically targeting the services category. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 10 February 2020. The contract is expected to commence on 2 March 2020 and will run until 30 April 2024. The estimated value of the contract is £95,000, and it will be conducted through an open procedure, allowing any interested suppliers to participate. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in professional training, particularly in the fields of archaeology and dendrochronology. Businesses that can provide expertise in training delivery and have a background in heritage practices are likely to excel in this tender. Engaging in this project not only supports the development of skills within the sector but also enables successful bidders to establish long-term relationships with Historic England and contribute to the sustainability of dendrochronological research in the UK. ## Notice Building future capacity by providing greater access to continuing professional development amongst heritage practitioners has been identified as a key objective in a wide range of recent policy documents. The current cohort of professional (archaeo)dendrochronologists on the UK mainland is rapidly aging and almost all such laboratories are small-sized enterprises. Thus future provision in the heritage sector is under threat. This project is a practical and inventive approach to resolving an imminent structural deficit in dendrochronological provision in the UK. The aim of this brief is to procure advanced professional training which will be provided by an appropriately experienced established (archaeo)dendrochronology laboratory to a small number of early career (archaeo)dendrochronologists using a series of buildings in Lincoln Cathedral precincts.
