In plain English
Historic Environment Scotland wants to set up a call-off contract for minor archaeological services. This means they're creating a standing agreement where they can book archaeological work as needed, rather than going out to tender each time.
What the buyer wants
• Provide minor archaeological services on an as-needed basis under a call-off arrangement • Likely services include site surveys, assessments, excavation support, or heritage recording • Be available to respond to multiple job requests over the contract period
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
You must have professional archaeological accreditation and relevant experience; this is not open to general contractors without specialist heritage qualifications. The contract value is fixed at £480,000, suggesting this is for an established framework rather than a new supplier, so breaking in may be difficult.
How to bid
This looks like a call-off from an existing framework, which usually means only suppliers already on that framework can bid. Check the notice before spending time on it.
