## Notice

Winchester City Council invites applications from suitably experienced organisations who wish to be considered for selection to tender for the Provision of Archaeological Services. The principle aims of work identified are as follows: * To define and understand the deposit characteristics and hydrogeological context of the CWR site and the vulnerability of waterlogged deposits of archaeological interest to changes in the water environment. * To provide a preliminary assessment of the state of preservation of waterlogged organic deposits and the artefacts / ecofacts that they contain. * To provide detailed baseline information about the existing water environment of the CWR site and likely state of preservation of buried archaeological remains, against which the implications of future development proposals can be assessed and evaluation strategies developed. The Contract will commence on 1st June 2020 and will be for a period of two years (with the option to extend for a further six years). Interested parties should register their interest in the project via the In-Tend website https://in-tendhost.co.uk/hampshire, and complete and submit the tender return document together with any supporting information requested by 1400 hrs on Monday 30th March 2020).
