This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental monitoring and heritage conservation services. Companies with expertise in assessing and managing environmental conditions, particularly those experienced with historic buildings and archaeological artefacts, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The procurement method used was selective, indicating a focus on ensuring that only qualified contractors participate, thus promoting a competitive environment for those with the necessary experience and qualifications in this field. ## Notice Historic Environment Scotland (HES) wishes to appoint a contractor to provide a programme of environmental monitoring at sites where existing environmental conditions give cause for concern for either the building fabric or for the collection of historic objects and archaeological artefacts and the provision of general advice. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Historic Environment Scotland (HES) considers it uneconomic and operationally unviable to split this requirement into multiple lots. This procurement is for a programme of environmental monitoring at sites where existing environmental conditions give cause for concern for either the building fabric or for the collection. This primarily involves the monitoring, assessment and control of temperature and relative humidity (RH) but may occasionally extend to the monitoring of other factors such as light, rainfall, vibration or insect pests.The Conservation Directorate looks after 336 listed buildings and scheduled monuments on behalf of Scottish Ministers at sites throughout Scotland. Associated with the properties are collections of historic objects and archaeological artefacts, many of which have been retained on site for interpretation and presentation to visitors. Historic Environment Scotland's collection comprises a wide range of materials; predominantly stone, but also more vulnerable materials such as wood, metal, bone, leather and fabrics. The collection includes over 60 active loans including ones from the Royal Armouries, Royal Collections Trust and the National Museums of Scotland.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB274761 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Feb 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Jan 2017 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT SCOTLAND | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH9 1SH | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Southside/Newington | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh South | | Delivery location | UKM25 Edinburgh, City of | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 33195100 - Monitors - 71315100 - Building-fabric consultancy services - 71621000 - Technical analysis or consultancy services - 71631300 - Technical building-inspection services - 71632000 - Technical testing services - 71700000 - Monitoring and control services - 90711500 - Environmental monitoring other than for construction - 92520000 - Museum services and preservation services of historical sites and buildings - 92522000 - Preservation services of historical sites and buildings ## Release History - 23 Feb 2017 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB274761 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB274761 Environmental Monitoring of Historic Building Fabric and Museum Collections - Historic Environment Scotland (HES) wishes to appoint a contractor to provide a programme of environmental monitoring at sites where existing environmental conditions give cause for concern for either the building fabric or for the collection of historic objects and archaeological artefacts and the provision of general advice. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.historicenvironment.scot - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000455420 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
