## Summary

Historic England, located in Swindon, Wiltshire, announced an award for the "Plaque scheme research - round table events." This procurement falls under the research services category and involves organising and facilitating round table discussions in July 2024. The primary purpose is to collate insights from civic societies and community heritage organisations about managing plaque schemes, with outcomes leading to a 'how to' guide. The contract, valued at £8,000, commenced on 31 October 2024 and will conclude on 31 March 2025. The procurement was executed via an open procedure, with key stages completed, including the award notice published on 10 December 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for research and community organisations experienced in event facilitation and heritage management. Businesses adept in conducting market research, polling, and providing consultancy services would find this contract beneficial for expanding their public sector portfolio. Organisations that can offer innovative and collaborative approaches to heritage projects are particularly well-suited, as the outcomes will directly influence national heritage initiatives through the government's blue plaque scheme.

## Notice

We are looking for an experienced research or community organisation to organise and facilitate a series of round table discussions to take place in July 2024. These round tables aim to bring together representatives from civic societies and other community heritage organisations to explore different experiences of running plaque schemes in their local areas. The outcomes of these discussions will inform a 'how to' guide on running plaque schemes, which will be published at a later date. Outcomes will also be used by Historic England to inform the delivery of the government-backed blue plaque scheme.
