UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Historic England is procuring education and training services to create local heritage learning resources for use by teachers in schools. The resources must help young people understand their local heritage, connect it with the national story and develop a sense of pride in where they live. The work also relates to the preservation and interpretation of historic sites and buildings. Historic England, a central government public authority, is the buying organisation. The requirement is a service rather than a construction project or supply contract. The published scope covers one lot and does not identify a specific delivery location, so suppliers with a suitable education, heritage or learning-resource remit should assess whether they can deliver for schools across the required area.

The process reached tender: Historic England invited offers through an open procedure. Supplier enquiries were due by 30 September 2026 at 5:00pm, and offers were due by 5 October 2026 at 9:30am. The planned award decision date was 15 October 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 19 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with renewal options described as 12 months plus 12 months and a maximum end date of 31 March 2029. The estimated value is £125,000 excluding VAT, or £150,000 including VAT. The single lot is also recorded as having a value of 125,000 AED. Evaluation is weighted 70% quality and 30% price.

This opportunity suits organisations that can combine heritage expertise with practical education and content-development skills. Strong candidates are likely to understand how local heritage connects to wider national history and how to turn that understanding into resources that teachers can use in a school setting. Relevant capability may include research into historic sites and buildings, curriculum-aware learning design, writing and editing for young audiences, and consultation with teachers or education professionals. Suppliers should be able to develop resources that are accurate, engaging and appropriate for classroom use, while helping pupils build a sense of connection with their local area. The requirement is particularly relevant to heritage organisations, education specialists, museums, cultural-learning providers and experienced creative teams working in these fields.
