Summary of the contracting process

Historic England commissioned research and consultancy to support non-statutory guidance for heritage premises on meeting the requirements of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, known as Martyn’s Law. The work includes developing fictional case studies to show how heritage premises could put effective counter-terrorism procedures and measures into practice. This is a specialist guidance and case-study assignment for the heritage sector, rather than the supply of physical security equipment or the delivery of security services. The procurement combines research with the design of practical guidance and examples for premises that need to understand how to implement the legislation. The published scope identifies heritage premises as the intended users; it does not name a particular delivery site or town.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Rod Jarman Associates Ltd, trading as the London Policing College. Historic England used an open, below-threshold competition. The award was evaluated on a 65% quality and 35% price weighting. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 5 October 2026 to 12 February 2027. Its value is £12,740 excluding VAT, or £15,018 including VAT. The earlier tender estimate was £13,000 excluding VAT (£15,600 including VAT). The work was procured as a single lot, covering research consultancy for guidance and case studies. The tender deadline was 9 September 2026, and the deadline for questions was 7 September 2026.

For suppliers tracking Historic England’s requirements, this award shows demand for specialist research and consultancy that turns legislation into usable guidance for heritage premises. A credible competitor would need to understand the heritage operating context and counter-terrorism measures, and be able to develop clear, practical guidance alongside fictional case studies that illustrate how procedures can be implemented. The quality weighting was substantially greater than the price weighting, so a strong future offer would need to demonstrate the relevance and usability of its proposed approach, not simply a low cost. The selected provider is a small and medium-sized business, showing that this assignment was delivered by an SME. The scale is a focused, time-limited consultancy project rather than a large operational security contract.
