The tender, titled "Archaeological Assessment of Aerial Photography and Lidar in Greater London - Review of National Mapping Programme for London and Survey of an Area within Bromley and Croydon Boroughs," falls under the research consultancy services category. This tender is currently at the planning stage, having been published on 7th October 2015, with a tender period that ended on 23rd October 2015. The contract is scheduled to commence on 9th November 2015 and will run until 25th March 2016, with a total value of £50,000, sourced through an open procurement method. This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs engaged in research consultancy and archaeological services, especially those with expertise in utilising aerial and lidar data for historic studies. Companies that specialise in archaeological assessments, mapping, or data analysis would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the project aims to enhance the archaeological evidence base in Greater London and improve early recognition of risks during the development consent process. The involvement in this project could not only bolster business capabilities but also provide a platform for further collaborations in heritage and conservation sectors. ## Notice Review of National Mapping Programme for London and Survey of an Area within Bromley and Croydon Boroughs The aim of the project is to improve the GLHER evidence base for archaeological advice in Greater London thereby enabling risk to be recognised and assessed earlier in the development consent process, providing a strategic framework for future enhancement. The project will bring together existing aerial photographic mapping for London highlighting the potential to professional, academic, and amateur researchers of what, archaeologically-speaking, is a sizeable but under-used resource - historic aerial photographs of sub-urban as well as rural and metropolitan areas of Greater London (including those held by the Historic England Archives, Swindon). Extensive lidar archives have recently been made available via the internet. Lidar material will be identified but only assessed for its potential to deliver significant new archaeological information. The project will enable the production of a report of the mapped evidence and the identification of significant new data through the use of historic aerial photographs and the potential represented by lidar to the study of sub-urban and rural areas, thus feeding directly into the planning and development casework, including the review of Archaeological Priority Areas. The project will examine the value of aerial photographs to studies and projects of areas that have been developed since the 1920s which currently make little or no use of this resource.
