Summary of the contracting process

North East Lincolnshire Borough Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Heritage Project Activity and Interpretation Plan," situated in Grimsby town centre, under the United Kingdom's sub-central government public authority category. With an open procurement method below the threshold, this process transitioned from tender initiation on 13th November 2025 to contract award by 5th February 2026, with RMMR Limited emerging as the awarded supplier. The contract, valued at £10,000 with a gross amount of £12,000, commenced on 5th January 2026 and is expected to conclude by 28th May 2026. The Council required a detailed and costed plan designed for better understanding and audience engagement with the site's architectural and social heritage.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cultural, library, and heritage services. SMEs like RMMR Limited, which focus on delivering precise and insightful cultural interpretation plans, are ideally positioned to thrive in such projects. The procurement's open competition format encourages participation from a diverse range of suppliers, especially those capable of quickly mobilising resources to meet tight project timelines and deliver impactful heritage engagement strategies. Engaging in this type of project can provide businesses with visibility and experience in the public sector, potentially leading to further opportunities in similar municipal projects.

Notice Title

Heritage Project Activity and Interpretation Plan

Notice Description

North East Lincolnshire Council is seeking tenders for the preparation of an Activity and Interpretation Plan for a heritage project in Grimsby town centre. Due to the short timescales for the project, tenders are being sought in advance of the decision on our development phase funding application. This is to enable the successful consultant to be contracted as soon as possible after Permission to Start, if we are successful. The production of a detailed, costed activity and interpretation plan is required, which should include activity designed to enable better understanding of the architectural and social heritage of the site, as well as the audiences that we want to reach. The Plan will be submitted as part of the bid requirements for the delivery phase of the project.
