Summary of the contracting process

Historic England commissioned a research and consultancy project on adapting historic buildings and structures to coastal erosion. The work will build on existing research to create a technical framework for historic built assets, excluding archaeological remains, landscapes and wrecks. It will identify practical solutions and opportunities for the heritage sector as planning policy and climate change affect decisions about individual buildings and structures. The project will also support heritage professionals to assess options using multi-criteria decision analysis, including the economic effects of different choices. The requirement is for market research, engineering advice and building consultancy services. Historic England is based in Swindon, Wiltshire. Listed delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and overseas locations.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Historic England used an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 17 June 2026 at 9:30am. Mott MacDonald (WNE) was awarded the contract on 14 August 2026 for £68,756.55 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 31 August 2026 to 30 April 2028. The award is recorded as active. The requirement was treated as a services contract and was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published procurement title identifies this as stage 2 of a multi-criteria decision analysis project concerning adaptation of historic buildings and structures to coastal erosion.

This award indicates demand for specialist advisory work at the intersection of heritage conservation, climate adaptation, coastal erosion and public-sector decision-making. A credible future supplier would need to understand historic buildings and structures, while excluding archaeological remains, landscapes and wrecks, and be able to translate research into a practical technical framework. Relevant capability includes engineering and building consultancy, market research, assessment of climate and planning-policy impacts, and analysis of economic consequences. Experience applying multi-criteria decision analysis would be particularly relevant, especially where decision-makers must compare options with conflicting objectives. The requirement suits an established consultancy with multidisciplinary technical expertise, heritage-sector understanding and the capacity to support evidence-based decisions across a broad geographic area.

Multi Criteria Decision Analysis Stage 2 - Adaptation of historic buildings and structures to coastal erosion - UID132 - AWARD

Notice Description

This project seeks to build on research undertaken by Historic England and others, to establish an effective technical framework for historic built assets excluding archaeological remains, landscapes and wrecks. It will offer solutions and identify opportunities for the heritage sector when considering the impact planning policy and climate change impacts have on approaches to specific historic buildings and structures. This project also seeks to support those working in the heritage sector to assess and analyse decisions for change, whilst considering the economic impacts these choices may have.
