This initiative falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on research and development services. The tender is currently in the active stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 12 noon on 1st March 2018. Following the contract period commencement on 12th March 2018, the project will extend until 30th September 2018. The procurement method employed is an open procedure under the threshold. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the research and development sector, particularly those with expertise in urban characterisation and archaeological consultancy. Companies that specialise in historical research, data analysis, or urban planning could find this project fitting, as it aims to assess prior achievements in urban archaeological strategies and guide future endeavours. Engaging in this procurement process could enhance the visibility and credibility of participating businesses, expanding their portfolio in related fields. ## Notice Historic England's (HE) programme of Urban Characterisation (known as 'urban archaeological strategies') was initiated in 1992. Initially, the work addressed mainly 'below-ground' archaeology and responded directly to opportunities in the wake of PPG16. In the quarter century since then much has been achieved and at this 25-year stage Historic England wishes to commission a project to assess what has been accomplished so far, and to frame the decision-making for future undertakings as part of the programme.
