UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Historic England is procuring evaluation consultancy services for a multi-year evaluation of the Heritage at Risk Capital Fund. The work will assess the Fund’s relevance, outcomes, contribution and value for money, and produce practical learning for Historic England, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and the public. The evaluation must examine the difference made to the condition, resilience, reuse and community value of supported heritage assets, together with the Fund’s contribution to wider place-based outcomes. Historic England, a central government public authority based in Swindon, is seeking either a single supplier or a consortium to deliver the requirement. The work concerns the Fund and its supported assets across the places covered by that programme.

The procurement has reached tender: Historic England invited offers through an open procedure. It comprises one lot and uses electronic submission in English. Enquiries had to be submitted by 7 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers by 14 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2031, with the award decision due by 21 September 2026 at 23:59. The estimated procurement value is £304,167 excluding VAT and £364,999 including VAT. Evaluation is weighted 85% to quality and 15% to price. The requirement is above the relevant threshold. The tender is for services, with evaluation consultancy identified as the specific service category.

This opportunity suits evaluation consultancies, heritage-sector research specialists and consortia able to deliver a robust, proportionate, multi-year evaluation. Relevant suppliers will need to assess programme relevance, outcomes, contribution and value for money, while turning evidence into actionable learning for a public authority, a government department and the wider public. The work calls for the ability to evaluate effects on the condition, resilience, reuse and community value of supported heritage assets, and to connect those effects with wider place-based outcomes. Strong candidates are likely to combine programme evaluation, heritage or built-environment understanding, stakeholder and community research, outcome assessment and clear public-sector reporting. A consortium may be appropriate where these capabilities are distributed across several organisations.
