This tender process is currently active and is classified under the CPV codes for IT services (72000000) and research services (73000000). Located in Swindon, Wiltshire, the tender period ends on 24 November 2021, with a contract expected to start on 6 December 2021 and conclude on 18 March 2022. The open procurement method is being used, with an estimated value of £25,000, and a minimum value of £15,000 is set for the project. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses that specialise in IT consulting, software development, and research services. Companies with a keen interest in understanding and mapping the heritage sector in North East England would find this project particularly aligned with their capabilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as this project aims to create a comprehensive model of the heritage ecosystem, ultimately influencing government policy and support strategies in the sector. ## Notice Historic England is seeking a partner for an intended multi-year staged project of which this ITT is the first stage. We want to understand better the extent, nature and location of organisations and enterprises contributing to the heritage sector of the economy in England and the relationships between them ('the heritage ecosystem') to inform Government policy development and to shape our own approach to sector support. This project represents the 'proof of concept' stage in which we want to take a manageable geographical area (North East England) and scrape for data on heritage organisations (including in the supply chain) and see how much manual topping up would be required for different categories of data such as employees, turnover etc. We then want to develop a model of the relationships between organisations to see if an 'ecosystem' can be identified. The results of this 'proof of concept' stage will inform our next stage, which would ideally be to scale up to an England-wide picture. Only this first stage, however, is a firm commitment by Historic England. Additional information: Dear Sir/Madam, Historic England (HE) has updated its e-tendering system ("In-Tend") which will now be completely separate from the joint system we previously operated with English Heritage.
