Description

Historic England is seeking costed tender submissions from organisations or individuals interested in undertaking a study of museum charges for depositing archaeological archives in England, together with the rationale for those costs.

This will build upon HE Research Report 40/2017 (Tsang, 2017 http://research.historicengland.org.uk/Report.aspx?i=15626&ru=%2fResults.aspx%3fp%3d1%26n%3d10%26rn%3d40%26ry%3d2017%26ns%3d1), which compared the costs of commercial 'deep storage' facilities with established museums.

The aim is to take that work further with a comprehensive study of museum charging policies across England.

Charging policies here means the costs imposed by museums for transferring into their care archive material produced by archaeological projects. Those costs vary widely from museum to museum and additional information on what those charges are intended to cover will be produced.

Additional information: Suppliers interested in submitting a bid for this contract should express an interest via the Historic England procurement system InTend.

Information on registering as a supplier on InTend can be found on the Heritage Protection Commissions Tender Opportunities webpage (https://historicengland.org.uk/services-skills/grants/our-grant-schemes/hpc/tender-opportunities/) or requested via an email to [email protected]
