Summary of the contracting process

Historic England is seeking consultancy services to review monitoring options for heritage and other assets threatened by climate change. The work will examine methods for continuous, long-term monitoring of sites and help produce practical advice for asset owners and managers. The advice is intended to help them identify trigger points for changing their management approach, increasing resilience or managing loss. The scope combines environmental engineering, research, evaluation, natural-resource management and conservation strategy planning, with application to the preservation of historic sites and buildings. The buying organisation is Historic England, a central government public authority. The requirement is for services supporting climate-threatened historic assets and the people responsible for managing them, rather than for construction or physical conservation works.

The procurement reached tender: Historic England invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Electronic submission is allowed. Potential suppliers could send enquiries until 22 October 2026 at 09:30 UK time, and offers were due by 27 October 2026 at 09:30 UTC. It is a single-lot requirement. The contract period is 5 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The overall estimated value is £15,000 excluding VAT and £18,000 including VAT. The lot value is recorded as AED 15,000 excluding VAT and AED 18,000 including VAT. Evaluation is weighted 80% to quality and 20% to price. The tender concerns services and is below the applicable threshold.

This opportunity suits consultancies able to combine environmental and climate-risk expertise with research, monitoring review and evaluation. Relevant suppliers are likely to understand continuous and long-term monitoring of sites, how monitoring evidence informs management decisions, and how to identify practical trigger points for intervention. Experience of natural-resource or conservation strategy planning would support the requirement, particularly where advice must address the resilience, deterioration or potential loss of heritage assets. Historic-environment, historic-building or site-preservation knowledge is directly relevant, as is the ability to turn technical findings into clear guidance for asset owners and managers. The strong quality weighting favours suppliers that can demonstrate a credible methodology, sound analysis and the capacity to deliver a focused advisory project within the stated contract period.
