Make a bid for some survey time!

This is our invitation for you to bid for a research survey.

We recognise that within archaeology in particular there is a need to prospect & record the landscape for a variety of reasons but there isn't always the budget to fund survey.

So, if you have a potential project & would like to put it forward as a bid in our quarterly auction, please read on!

Bids should be made in writing (post or email) to arrive by the end of March, June, September & December.

All bids will remain confidential.

Our contact details are available here.

What do we need from you?

A summary of what you know & why you need a survey
A statement of available funding
Evidence of your commitment to the project (e.g., membership of a research or other community group)

Bids are assessed on the basis of...

The potential contribution of the survey to local & national knowledge
The suitability of the site & local environment for survey
The degree of funding that is available relative to the amount of work required

Please note we are not bound to accept any bid & reserve the right to suggest alternative ways to satisfy your objective. Development-generated projects will not normally be considered although subsequent follow-up work may be eligible.

Feel free to use our online request form to initiate your bid.

We welcome your involvement in this unique & pioneering initiative
