This project falls within the research and development services industry category, with a total contract value of £16,000. The contract aims to create 10 articles exploring place-saving efforts during WWII and has a contract period starting from 21st June 2019 until 12th August 2019. The tender was originally scheduled to conclude on 10th June 2019, and delivery addresses for the research include various locations across the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in research, historical analysis, or content creation. Companies with expertise in historical documentation and storytelling aligned with national narratives would be well-suited to compete for future contracts like this, which emphasise a blend of narrative and statistical research to engage audiences in cultural heritage themes. ## Notice We're commissioning research and copywriting into the breadth and variety of place-saving endeavours that took place from 1939-1945 to interrogate 'To what extent was 'place-saving' on the home-front a national phenomenon?'. We value stories over statistics, however we would prefer the researcher to present both. Researchers should estimate how many places survived WW2 bombing thanks to efforts on the home-front and how many people on the home-front risked their lives to save the places they loved during WW2. They should also compile local stories of individuals and communities behind these numbers. The project will ideally result in a mixture of memorable and emotive accounts and statistics. However, we welcome responses that favour the story research over both if a strong justification is provided. We'd like the research presented in the form of 10 image-rich articles for our website. Any possible introductions to living individuals whom Historic England could approach for further content would be appreciated. The research supports a major piece of public programming about the people who saved St Paul's Cathedral and Coventry Cathedral's during this period. The research must have a national geographic spread, covering (broadly) the South West, London, South East, East of England, Midlands, Yorkshire, North East and the North West. It must cover a range of place-types. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ab373770-7f2e-4f68-814d-c3e055446a46 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | 10 Jun 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 13 Jun 2019 | | Contract period | 20 Jun 2019 - 12 Aug 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £16,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £13,813 | | 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 | SWINDON | | 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 | UNIVERSITY OF LINCOLN | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 14 Jun 2019 at 12:54 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ab373770-7f2e-4f68-814d-c3e055446a46 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ab373770-7f2e-4f68-814d-c3e055446a46 14th June 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/historic-england/aspx/Home ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
