Summary of the contracting process

Historic England is buying research and consultancy services to examine how heritage assets, places and networks contribute to urban green infrastructure and climate resilience. The commission will review and synthesise existing evidence, identify policy opportunities and barriers, and develop an initial conceptual framework for understanding heritage within wider green infrastructure systems. It will also produce two case studies. The work is intended to give Historic England a strategic evidence base for future research, policy development and collaboration across sectors. The main subject is environmental and heritage research, rather than construction or the delivery of green infrastructure projects. Historic England is the buying organisation. The procurement concerns research and related consultancy services, including environmental issues consultancy (CPV 90713000).

Historic England invited offers through an open competition. The tender set an enquiry deadline of 21 October 2026 at 17:00 and a bid deadline of 2 November 2026 at 09:30. The planned contract period runs from 7 December 2026 to 7 March 2027. The estimated value is £15,000 excluding VAT and £18,000 including VAT. There is one lot, covering the full research commission. Evaluation is weighted 70% on quality and 30% on price, so the quality of the proposed approach carries substantially more weight than cost. Electronic submission is permitted. The work is below the applicable procurement threshold. Offers were invited for research and consultancy to deliver the evidence review, identify policy opportunities and barriers, develop a conceptual framing, and prepare two supporting case studies.

This opportunity is best suited to research consultancies and specialist teams able to deliver a rapid, evidence-led review at the intersection of heritage, urban green infrastructure and climate resilience. Relevant strengths include synthesising existing research, assessing policy contexts and barriers, developing conceptual frameworks, and producing clear, decision-useful findings for a public-sector client. Suppliers should be able to connect heritage assets, places and networks with wider urban infrastructure and resilience issues, and develop two case studies that substantiate the review. The emphasis on quality in evaluation favours a strong and credible research method, clear analysis and effective communication of findings. The scope calls for focused research and consultancy capability, rather than infrastructure construction or operational delivery.
