Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North East Lincolnshire Borough Council is seeking a consultant to lead delivery of the Activity and Interpretation Plans for its Window to 1913 heritage project. The work is intended to support the project’s aims, the Council’s ambitions as a Heritage Place and its contribution to the National Lottery Heritage Fund’s Heritage 2033 investment principles. This is a heritage activity and interpretation consultancy commission, with delivery in Yorkshire and the Humber. The appointment forms part of the project’s delivery phase and is being procured ahead of grant permission to start, reflecting the project timetable and planned capital works and tenant occupation.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 2 November 2026 at 13:00 UTC. The estimated contract value is £168,350. The published contract period runs from 14 December 2026 to 30 September 2027; the tender description separately anticipates delivery from 2 November 2026 to 30 December 2027, following permission to start from the Heritage Fund. The commission is presented as one appointment, with no lot breakdown. The procurement is for services, and the evaluation basis is not stated in the available tender information.

This opportunity is suited to a consultancy able to lead delivery of heritage activity and interpretation plans and translate project ambitions into a practical programme. Relevant experience in heritage projects, public engagement and interpretation would be useful to the work described. The tender identifies the appointment as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so it is aimed at suppliers with the organisational scale to take on the commission. No specific accreditation or staffing requirement is described.

Notice Title

Window to 1913: Activity Plan Delivery Lead

Notice Description

The Authority is now seeking a consultant to deliver the contents of the Activity and Interpretation Plans, to enable us to achieve the aims and objectives of the Window to 1913 project, our ambitions as a Heritage Place and our contribution to the investment principles in The National Lottery Heritage Fund's Heritage 2033 strategy. The Authority expects to receive a decision on the delivery phase grant application during October 2026, with permission to start expected in November 2026. Specialist consultants to undertake work during the delivery phase, including this appointment, are being tendered for in advance of permission to start due to the tight timescales for completion of the delivery phase. This is due to the timetable for capital works and tenant occupation of much of the ground floor from July 2027. This contract will be delivered by the successful consultant following Permission to Start from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. It is expected that delivery will be between 2nd November 2026 and 30th December 2027.
