About

Historic England awarded a contract to Maritime Archaeology Ltd, MSDS Marine Ltd, and Wessex Archaeology for a Framework Agreement to provide archaeological assessment functions supporting marine protection and management.

The agreement covers the two-year period from April 2022 to March 2024, with a total value of AUD 450,000.

It replaces the previous single-contractor approach to allow a more flexible response and support capacity development in the sector.

Projects under this framework address sites and assets most at risk from neglect, decay, or other threats within UK territorial waters adjacent to England.
