The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 12th September 2017. The contract period is expected to commence on 1st October 2017 and will continue until 1st December 2019. The anticipated value of the contract is £35,000, with a minimum bid requirement of £10,000. The services are to be delivered in Workington, located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialised in archaeological services, particularly those experienced in community engagement projects. Companies capable of conducting small-scale archaeological digs and facilitating community events are well-suited to apply, given the project’s aim to incorporate local volunteers and foster community involvement.

This is a part of a funded project, by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), to develop a miner's memorial at Jane Pit in Workington. The initial test digs for this project will see you support and deliver a small scale community archaeology event at the site. This will include a mix of younger and older volunteers. The larger dig will be designed by you based on your initial findings at the site; this will also include a larger more, engaged community event incorporating archaeology, learning and sense of community. It is expected for the initial dig to be carried out in summer 2018 with an application for Scheduled Monument Consent to be completed be the awarded company by February 2018.
