## Summary

The public procurement process titled "The Rewetting and preservation of the scheduled ancient monument of Flag Fen" was conducted by Historic England Limited, located in Swindon, England. The procurement is classified under preservation services of historical sites and buildings. This direct award procurement method culminated on 3rd November 2016, with a total contract value of £17,000. The contract period runs from 1st December 2016 to 28th February 2017, allowing for the refinement and expansion of hydrological modelling previously funded for the site.

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in preservation services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Those specialising in environmental management, hydrology, or archaeological services would find this contract well-suited to their capabilities, as it aims to ensure the protection and enhancement of historical sites, thereby contributing to both business growth and community engagement.

## Notice

Brief Description of purchase:In 2014, HE funded a hydrological modelling project for the Flag Fen Basin to inform monument and development management decision making for the site and its environs. This work identified a possible strategy that could increase the water levels in and around the site of Flag Fen, ensuring that the archaeological horizon was below the level of the water all year round. The current proposal would refine and expand this work in order to identify and assess options for permanent rewetting of the archaeological deposits at Flag Fen.
