    Brief

    This project seeks to design the ideal physical infrastructure for a National Collection of Archaeological Archives (NCAA) across England. It addresses the critical shortage of museum storage capacity for archaeological materials by developing a state-of-the-art national repository that ensures long-term preservation, public accessibility, and environmental sustainability. The project will create an evidence-based storage system building upon the baseline model outlined in the Options for Sustainable Archaeological Archives Report and the established Operating Model. Deliverables include detailed specifications for storage environments, spatial organization, sustainability measures, and facility design requirements. The findings will provide essential guidance for infrastructure planning, business case development, cost modeling, building design, and site selection for the national archive facility. This opportunity is ideal for suppliers with expertise in archival science, environmental control systems, museum storage design, conservation standards, and sustainable facility planning.
