The work is an archaeological and heritage services assignment covering the creation of a clear site narrative and identification of themes contributing to the landscape character. It must identify opportunities for heritage-led landscape management, define archaeologically sensitive areas, and assess the impact of proposed land-management changes. The successful supplier will also suggest further investigative or mitigation work, identify opportunities to enhance the heritage resource through community projects, and produce clear maps and GIS shapefiles of the outputs. The requirement is being bought by Natural England, a central government public authority. The procurement has reached tender: Natural England invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single lot. Clarification questions had to be submitted by 16:00 on 14 September 2026, and the quotation had to be sent by 16:00 on 16 October 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 26 October 2026 to 20 March 2027. Its estimated value is £16,000 excluding VAT, or £20,000 including VAT. The response must meet the requirements in the Request for Quotation and use the commercial response template and order form. The RFQ sets out the detailed evaluation basis. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This opportunity suits an archaeological or heritage consultancy able to deliver a structured historic impact and opportunity assessment for a moorland landscape. Relevant capability includes landscape character analysis, archaeological desk-based assessment, identification and assessment of sensitive areas, and understanding how land-management proposals may affect heritage assets. Suppliers should be able to develop practical heritage-led management opportunities and recommend further investigation or mitigation. The commission also calls for community-project opportunities, clear cartographic outputs and GIS shapefiles, so experience in community engagement, mapping and GIS data production would be useful. It is appropriate for an SME with the capacity to complete a focused assessment and provide coherent written, mapped and digital outputs within the contract period. ## Notice Completion of a Historic Impact and Opportunity Scoping Assessment for Goss and Tregoss Moors.
