## Summary

Leicestershire County Council has completed a public procurement process titled "The Provision of Living History Interpreters," which falls under the primary education services category (CPV code 80100000). This tender aimed to secure services for the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre's interpretive learning sessions. The project, valued at £114,000, ran an open procedure, concluding on 14 March 2025, with the contract starting on 1 May 2025 and ending on 30 April 2026. The services will be delivered in the United Kingdom, specifically within England, encompassing interpretive historical education sessions for schools, which will be facilitated by costumed interpreters focusing on Roman and Medieval soldiers.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in educational services and historical interpretation. Businesses capable of providing immersive, hands-on educational experiences, particularly those with experience in historical reenactments and educational outreach, will find this tender particularly well-suited. The awarded suppliers, JTA and Historical Lives, each won lots focusing on different historical periods, underscores the variety of opportunities available within this sector. This initiative supports long-term business growth by establishing a reliable and engaging service for ongoing educational programs, thereby solidifying the role of SMEs in public educational projects.
