This project, classified under the category of Research and Development Services and related consultancy services (CPV code 73000000), is based in Swindon, United Kingdom. Key dates include the tender period ending on 20th February 2020, with a contract period running from 2nd March 2020 to 7th September 2020. The estimated value of the contract ranges from £40,000 to £50,000, and the procurement method is open procedure, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in heritage consultancy, historical research, and environmental planning. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in integrating growth strategies while respecting historical environments will find themselves well-positioned to compete. The project aims to gather vital insights on heritage assets within the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Arc, thus allowing businesses to contribute to sustainable development initiatives while expanding their reach and influence in the market. ## Notice In the March 2016 Budget the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) was asked to investigate the potential infrastructure needs and economic case for maximising the benefits of the Oxford - Milton Keynes - Cambridge knowledge-based cluster and make recommendations to Government. The NIC believed that growth could be accommodated without removing land from the Green Belt or affecting the natural environment. The historic environment was not considered in the report, which instead focused on natural environment and the potential for the 'environmental net gain' methodology to deliver overall benefits for the environment . This project seeks to redress this imbalance and develop a programme of work, and related products, that document and illustrate the significance and value of heritage assets, places, and landscapes in the Growth Arc. The applied outcomes from this work will enable planners, developers and all levels of government, to take the historic environment into account, at an early stage, and help avoid or minimise conflicts, and reduce costs, that might otherwise emerge unforeseen at later stages in the delivery of development schemes as part of the Growth Arc plan.
