For a uniform approach in archaeological heritage tenders carried out by Rijkswaterstaat, work packages have been drafted to carry out desk-based assessments and archaeological field evaluations (augering, test trenches) on land and field survey for sediment under and above water. In addition, requirement specifications for archaeology and cultural history in a model contract have been updated. Also, a webpage regarding archaeological heritage and tenders has been drafted, consisting of background information about heritage management and tenders in relation to the procurement process.
