## Summary

The public procurement process for the contract titled "Knowing the Heritage Sector Phase 4" is being conducted by Historic England, based in Swindon, Wiltshire. This tender focuses on research services within the heritage sector, aiming to develop a market intelligence service. The procurement is at the "Tender" stage and follows an open procedure above threshold. Key dates include the tender period ending on 7th November 2024 and the contract period running from 2nd January 2025 to 2nd July 2025. This opportunity is classified under CPV codes related to research consultancy, social research, and market research services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in research and market intelligence services, especially those with experience in the heritage sector. It is particularly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to its specific suitability criteria. The successful implementation of this tender can lead to enhanced market insights and support for the heritage ecosystem, fostering innovation and productivity. Businesses capable of meeting the contract requirements will have the opportunity to demonstrate technological feasibility, potentially positioning themselves for future phases and larger audiences.

## Notice

The ultimate aim of the programme is to create a market intelligence service for the heritage sector and others which aims to be the definitive source of data about the heritage ecosystem. Armed with hitherto unavailable self-knowledge, the sector can foster greater productivity, innovation and equity. The first step, to which this brief applies, is to establish a minimum viable product (MVP) to test and, hopefully, to demonstrate to potential funders the technological feasibility of the service. At this stage, involvement will be limited to a select group of early testers. For information, it is in the next phase that the product transitions to a Minimum Viable Service (MVS) that can cater to a wider audience. More details can be found in the ITT.
