This tender provides opportunities for businesses, especially in the areas of library services, archives, museums, research, archaeological services, and preservation services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete in this procurement. Businesses interested in providing innovative collection curation facilities within historic buildings should consider engaging in this tender to support Historic England's goals of improving accessibility and professional engagement. ## Notice Historic England wishes to develop and improve the storage of its permanent and temporary collections, taking into consideration the variety of types of collection we hold, the historic nature of the buildings and sustainability. Due to aging infrastructure, changing business needs and collection development, the current environmental systems and stores are unable to achieve consistent appropriate temperature and humidity conditions for the different materials held. Historic England wish to engage a museum collections care and storage consultant to: 1. Undertake a root and branch review of how the Fort Cumberland archives and collections are currently stored, their requirements and how the building performances and current environmental controls affect the stored materials. 2. Put together sustainable options for adapting and building new innovative collection curation facilities, within Grade II and II* Listed Buildings,which are fit for purpose and will meet our current needs and future ambitions to improve accessibility for professional and public engagement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2763e8e-5120-4110-83f5-b5b55dac47be | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 24 Oct 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Nov 2022 | | Contract period | 28 Nov 2022 - 6 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £10,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HISTORIC ENGLAND | | Locality | WILTSHIRE | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 2EH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Mannington and Western | | Westminster constituency | Swindon South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | NATIONAL CONSERVATION SERVICE (CONSERVATION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 71351914 - Archaeological services - 73110000 - Research services - 92500000 - Library, archives, museums and other cultural services - 92520000 - Museum services and preservation services of historical sites and buildings - 92521000 - Museum services ## Release History - 10 Nov 2022 at 17:28 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2763e8e-5120-4110-83f5-b5b55dac47be - 10 Nov 2022 at 17:27 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2763e8e-5120-4110-83f5-b5b55dac47be - 10 Nov 2022 at 17:27 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2763e8e-5120-4110-83f5-b5b55dac47be - 10 Nov 2022 at 17:25 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2763e8e-5120-4110-83f5-b5b55dac47be ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2763e8e-5120-4110-83f5-b5b55dac47be 10th November 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
