Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process executed by Historic England involves a comprehensive framework for UX-related services on the organisation's website. The process, identified by the title "Historic England's UX Framework," pertains to the industry category of systems and support services and systems and technical consultancy services, classified under the CPV codes 72250000 and 72220000. Situated in Swindon, UK, the buying authority is a public sub-central government entity. This tender process, completed using an open procedure, commenced with a tender notice published in August 2025, and the framework agreement was signed on 24th October 2025, with the contract period running until the end of September 2028, with a possibility for a one-year extension. The procurement method included both with and without reopening of competition, involving a contract value up to £420,000.

This tender opens significant opportunities for businesses specialising in UX design, user research, and digital marketing. Given the framework's open procedure, small and medium enterprises, as well as larger-scale operations adept in software consultancy and support, have the potential to engage in competitive mini-competitions for specific projects. With an emphasis on quality over price (75% quality to 25% price), businesses that can demonstrate competency, a broad range of services, and immediate availability will find this framework particularly lucrative for business growth. The successful framework includes a variety of suppliers, such as Williams Commerce, CIVIC Computing Ltd, and Storm ID, among others, suggesting a diverse and competitive supplier environment.
