## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by Historic England, which aims to commission research titled "Carbon Reduction Scenarios for the Built Historic Environment." This project falls within the research services industry and is set in Swindon, United Kingdom. Currently in the tender stage, it was published on 11th May 2020 and will remain open for submissions until 26th May 2020. The selected contractor will be awarded a contract with a budget of £25,000, starting on 29th May 2020 and concluding on 13th July 2020, following an open procurement method.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental research, energy efficiency, and historic building conservation. Firms that are well-versed in carbon reduction strategies and have experience in dealing with heritage sites will find themselves particularly suited to compete. Engaging in this project not only supports the UK's net zero carbon targets but also fosters growth for businesses capable of innovating within the constraints of preserving historical integrity.

## Notice

Historic England wishes to commission research that refines and develops carbon reduction scenarios for the built historic environment to meet the UKs net zero carbon targets by 2050. The research will develop forecasts of the scale of carbon reduction in the built historic environment and the associated abatement costs that can be delivered through retrofit. Historic residential buildings are today categorised as "hard to decarbonise" buildings, yet they are often the product of low carbon intensive processes using local materials. While the aim of this commission is to estimate reductions in the operational carbon of historic buildings, it is important to acknowledge the embodied carbon contained within existing buildings. The research must also consider the challenges associated with achieving net zero targets without potential widespread damage to the historic environment and people's health.
