Summary of the contracting process

The Heritage Fund is seeking copywriting, editing and proofreading services for its publications. The work is intended to support a range of publications across the National Lottery Heritage Fund. It is a services requirement in the marketing and communications field, with delivery across the United Kingdom. Suppliers would join a framework to provide written content and editorial support as required. The Heritage Fund is the buying organisation.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition for a single-lot framework. The enquiry deadline was 13 October 2026 at 12:00; the submission deadline was 6 November 2026 at 12:00. The framework period is 14 December 2026 to 31 December 2029. Its estimated value is £40,000 excluding VAT (£50,000 including VAT). Evaluation gives 70% to quality, 20% to price and 10% to social value. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Electronic submission is permitted through the Delta eSourcing service.

This opportunity suits copywriting and editorial suppliers able to produce clear, accurate material for a range of publications, and to provide editing and proofreading alongside writing. The framework may suit small businesses as well as larger agencies. Suppliers should be equipped to deliver work across the United Kingdom and respond to varied publication requirements over the framework term. The buyer states that work volumes are neither implied nor guaranteed, so suppliers should consider whether they can support an arrangement with demand that is not assured. Quality carries the greatest evaluation weight, with social value also assessed, making strong editorial standards and a credible approach to social value relevant to competing.
