This open procedure tender focused on assessing the adoption, success, and impact of Scotland's Archaeology Strategy over the past ten years. The award was made on 10th September 2024, with The Diffley Partnership selected as the successful supplier. The procurement involved services within the tourism, heritage, conservation, and built environment industry category, and was conducted electronically, ensuring compliance with GPA standards. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy and strategic assessments within the heritage and conservation sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like The Diffley Partnership, which offer expertise in review and evaluation services, are particularly well-suited to compete and deliver on such contracts.
