Summary of the contracting process

Historic England, a renowned agency located in Swindon, Wiltshire, United Kingdom, has commenced the award stage for the procurement process titled "2026 Board Effectiveness Review (BER)." The focus is on performance review services within the industry category, with a contract period starting from 1 April 2026 and ending on 31 December 2026. The process followed a selective procurement method, particularly a restricted procedure, with the tender period concluding on 4 March 2026. The contract was awarded to Campbell Tickell for the amount of £24,800 and involves conducting a comprehensive external review of the Historic England Commission over several months, with critical engagements planned throughout the year, concluding with a presentation in December 2026 in London.

This tender opens up opportunities for consultancies experienced in governance and effectiveness reviews, particularly those familiar with performance review services. Businesses capable of devising tailored approaches for large organisations' governance evaluation would be well-suited to engage in similar opportunities. While Historic England does not specify a preference for SMEs or VCSEs in this instance, firms with robust experience in interviews, surveys, and documentation scrutiny will find ample opportunity for growth in the consultancy sector, especially in roles requiring close collaboration with senior executives and board members across diverse locales.
