Summary of the contracting process

Historic England procured the design and delivery of four online staff training workshops on adapting for energy and carbon efficiency, supporting its HEAN18 training programme. The requirement covers three mini-workshops on other measures including renders, insulation, and windows and doors, plus a broader workshop on how energy and carbon adaptations interact, supported by the STBA wheel. This is a professional training and seminar service rather than construction or installation work. Delivery is online for Historic England staff across the United Kingdom. The buyer is Historic England, a central government public authority. The requirement is divided into four individually tendered training packages, each focused on a distinct aspect of energy and carbon efficiency in the context of the organisation’s work.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold open competition. Liberty Rose Architects was awarded all four lots. Each of Lots 1, 2 and 3 had an estimated value of £4,711.50 excluding VAT, or £5,653.80 including VAT; Lot 4 was estimated at £5,865.50 excluding VAT, or £7,038.60 including VAT. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and is valued at £14,280 excluding VAT, or £17,136 including VAT. Its contract period runs from 25 August to 31 December 2026. The tender deadline was 3 August 2026 at 9:30am, with enquiries accepted until 27 July 2026 at 5pm. Evaluation used the most economically advantageous tender: quality carried 65% and price 35%.

This award indicates demand from Historic England for specialist online training that connects energy and carbon efficiency with practical adaptation measures. Suppliers preparing for a future requirement of this kind would need to design and deliver clear, engaging digital workshops for professional staff, with credible subject knowledge covering insulation, windows and doors, renders and other measures. They would also need to explain how individual adaptations interact, using the STBA wheel where relevant, and translate technical material into useful staff training. The four-lot structure shows that the buyer may value both focused expertise in individual measures and the ability to deliver a broader, joined-up session. A small or specialist architecture, sustainability or built-environment training practice could be well placed if it combines these capabilities with reliable online delivery.
