Tender: Archaeological Management Plan and Costed HE1 Works Specification for Wallingford Scheduled Monuments, Oxfordshire

About

Wallingford Town Council, working with Historic England, is seeking a suitably qualified archaeological and heritage consultant to prepare an Archaeological Management Plan and a costed specification for HE1 capital works across the Scheduled Monuments within the Council's public parks in Wallingford, Oxfordshire. The brief covers the Wallingford Town Walls, the Saxon burh (town) defences, and Wallingford Castle and the Motte, all nationally important Scheduled Monuments with elements of the Town Walls recorded on the Heritage at Risk Register. The work will inform and enable future conservation interventions by setting out a management approach and producing a clear, costed specification addressing measures to limit erosion, manage vegetation and shrub coverage, and address unstable trees while protecting buried archaeology and the historic character of the sites; the specification should be suitable to inform a subsequent, separately procured works programme. The full brief, scope of works, form of response and pricing schedule are provided in the PA2 Tender Brief and its appendices.
