Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Examination of heritage assets lost due to coastal erosion (UID 101)" was undertaken by Historic England, based in Swindon, UK. The tender, tagged as "award" and "contract," commenced on 22nd September 2025, with the contract subsequently awarded on 4th November 2025. The procurement pertains to the services industry, specifically environmental engineering consultancy services. The procurement method was an open competition below the threshold, reflecting an inclusive approach. The procurement process has reached the "award" stage, with the contract active from 3rd November 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in environmental consultancy services, particularly those experienced in the assessment and adaptation of heritage sites affected by coastal erosion. SMEs such as ButCH Bureau, already involved as suppliers, demonstrate that smaller enterprises capable of providing innovative solutions and adaptability strategies could benefit from similar opportunities. Businesses excelling in Multi-Criteria Analysis and heritage conservation are well-suited to compete in such tenders, offering further growth potential in engaging with government projects focused on environmental assessments and heritage preservation strategies.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Examination of heritage assets lost due to coastal erosion (UID 101)

Notice Description

We are commissioning this project to increase our understanding of how structures at risk from coastal erosion have been adapted in the past. This could include being moved, or in certain circumstances completely lost where this is the only practicable option. For identified cases, the project should seek to identify limitations, risks, constraints or opportunities and how this was managed from a policy, heritage significance, economic and social point of view. This research will support other ongoing projects focusing on Multi Criteria Analysis and Adaptative Pathways.
