Conservation, maintenance and presentation programmes at PICs often necessitate ground disturbance, or present opportunities for standing building recording. HES wishes to ensure that works to deposits or structures are the subject of archaeological survey, monitoring and recording, where appropriate. There are over 300 PICs located throughout Scotland which HES operate under a Scheme of Delegations from Scottish Ministers. The scale of each call-out will be driven by the needs of the programme of works, and will often be small scale e.g. a watching brief, but can include larger scale services such as standing building recording, archaeological evaluation trenching, metal detecting survey and geophysical survey. Renewal: The contract will be in place for an initial period of 24 months, with the option to extend the contract by two further 12 month periods at the discretion of HES, giving a total potential contract length of 48 months. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV463136 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 29 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 1 Nov 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Four years from September 2022 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £320,000 | | Lots value | £320,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £208,750 | ## 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 | TLM Scotland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | AOC ARCHAEOLOGY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 45112450 - Excavation work at archaeological sites - 71351720 - Geophysical surveys of archaeological sites - 71351914 - Archaeological services ## Release History - 1 Nov 2022 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV463136 - 27 Jul 2022 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL454872 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL454872&idx=1 27th July 2022 - Document 1 - Invitation To Tender - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL454872&idx=2 27th July 2022 - Document 2 - Specification and Project Outline - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL454872&idx=3 27th July 2022 - Document 3 - Quality Schedule - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL454872&idx=4 27th July 2022 - Document 4 - Commercial Schedule - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL454872&idx=5 27th July 2022 - Document 5 - Terms and Conditions of Contract - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL454872&idx=6 27th July 2022 - Document 6 - Archaeological Finds Procedures, Conservation and Reporting Guidance - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL454872&idx=7 27th July 2022 - Document 7 - Finds Deposition Form - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL454872 Provision of Minor Archaeological Services - Historic Environment Scotland (HES) requires a call off contract to be put in place for minor archaeological services. - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV463136 Provision of Minor Archaeological Services - Historic Environment Scotland (HES) requires a call off contract to be put in place for minor archaeological services. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://historicenvironment.scot - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000700952 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
