## Summary

The Fenland District Council is conducting a procurement process to secure archaeological services for two projects, 'Wisbech Big Dig' and 'Wisbech Underground', located in East of England, United Kingdom. This initiative is classified under geological, geophysical and other scientific prospecting services, with a total contract value of £31,000. The tender process was open until 15th December 2016, and has since been awarded, with the contract period spanning from 9th January 2017 to 16th December 2019. Businesses were encouraged to submit their tenders through this open procurement method.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses in the archaeological and surveying sector, particularly those experienced in community engagement and heritage projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-suited to compete in this process, given the focus on community involvement and the provision of archaeological services within the Wisbech High Street Townscape Heritage project.
