## Summary

Medway Council is seeking bids for the "Innovation Park Medway - Archaeological Services" project, which falls under the construction industry category. This tender is currently in the open procurement stage, with the tender period ending on 14th July 2021. The anticipated start date for the associated fieldwork is 31st August 2021, and the contract is scheduled to run until 28th February 2022. The total budget for this procurement is £800,000, with delivery intended in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement will follow an open procedure, allowing for a wide range of submissions.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in archaeological services and construction-related operations. With the requirement for archaeological strip, map, and sampling services, companies that can demonstrate expertise in site management and compliance with Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM 2015) are especially well-suited to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as they may offer innovative solutions to meet the client's needs effectively, thus fostering business growth in this sector.

## Notice

Medway Council are seeking to identify a preferred supplier to deliver archaeological services, which comprises strip, map and sample (SMS) of the Northern site 10.8-hectare topsoil strip by the Principal Contractor along with provision of attendance for an archaeological watching brief in the Southern Site. The proposed mitigation will be carried out during the main construction contract and is therefore subject to Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM 2015), with the client's Principal Contractor responsible for the management of the site including health and safety, plant, site security and welfare. The anticipated start date for the fieldwork is August 2021. The detailed scope and methodology of the archaeological work is set out in a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI), produced in consultation with Medway Council and agreed by the LPA Archaeological advisor (WSP 2021). The WSI sets out the fieldwork scope and methodology, reporting and archiving processes. The mitigation strategy is designed to preserve 'by record' in the form of archaeological Strip, Map and Sample (SMS) and Watching Brief. FTS Notice: 2021/S 000-013343
