## Summary

The public procurement process involves Historic England, which is located in Swindon, Wiltshire, and is seeking to carry out a comprehensive review of geospatial standards and skills within the historic environment sector in England. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the award for this tender was made on 29th November 2021, with the contract period commencing on 6th December 2021 and concluding on 25th March 2022. This contract, classified under 'Research and development services and related consultancy services', represents an investment of £24,998.49.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in geospatial consultancy, market research, and geographic information systems (GIS). Firms that specialise in data management, standards development, and heritage conservation may find themselves well-positioned to compete, given the focus on improving geospatial heritage information systems and workflows in the historic environment sector.

## Notice

The purpose of this work is to carry out a review of geospatial standards and assess geospatial skills and knowledge within the historic environment sector in England, with the overall aim of improving the way in which geospatial heritage information is created, handled and shared. The work will contribute to broader initiatives to streamline workflows and decision-making in the planning system. In the light of this, the emphasis should be on datasets that are, or should be, routinely used in this context, including but not restricted to: Local Authority Historic Environment Record (HER) monument and event records, historic maps, lidar datasets and Historic Landscape Characterisation datasets. Key products will be a geospatial standards knowledge review report, including recommendations on the use of existing standards and the need for any new standards, a geospatial skills and knowledge assessment report, and a three year draft performance support plan.
