This procurement falls under the services industry category and is currently in the tender stage. The tender process is open and will close on 19 August 2020, with a contract period starting from 1 September 2020 and ending on 28 February 2021. The estimated value of the contract ranges from £25,000 to £35,000, and it follows an open procurement method suitable for organisations of all sizes. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research and development services and related consultancy services, particularly those with experience in grant administration and processes. Given its scope, firms that focus on enhancing grant delivery frameworks or have expertise in public sector consultancy would be well-positioned to compete. Businesses aiming to improve public service offerings, especially in the heritage sector, may find this contract aligns with their growth strategies. ## Notice Our Grant Schemes are an essential part of our work to protect the nation's heritage. The last review of Historic England (HE) grant giving was undertaken as part of the recent Change Programme with a direction of travel for grant administration approved by Executive Team in order to help determine the organisations structure. This created a central Grants Team in the Business Improvement Group, alongside continued local grant management in the six Regional Teams. The aim of this structure is to deliver a more consistent approach to grant giving, a more flexible approach to budget management/spend between HE schemes and a better experience for applicants. The aim of this project is to provide HE with a clearer understanding of its grant giving process across all grants streams and schemes, including the High Streets Heritage Action Zones (HSHAZ) scheme and our professional advice and consultancy budgets. It will summarise our grant giving, benchmark our administration to other grant givers funded from the public purse, and make a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of the HE grants delivery and administration processes. It will consider whether it remains fit for purpose, reflects our ambition to develop a more inclusive sector, make recommendations for change (if necessary), and inform a grants delivery improvement strategy supporting reform of HE grants delivery and ensuring the organisation remains successful in its mission to provide public value.
