## Summary

The procurement process is led by Historic England for the project titled "Measuring Impact, Managing Change: How should the form of growth in the Oxford - Cambridge Growth Arc positively respond to the historic environment?" This initiative falls under the research and development services industry category and is located in Swindon, United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 21st February 2020. The contract is active, having started on 2nd March 2020 and set to conclude by 7th September 2020. The awarded contract has a value of £49,953, and Land Use Consultants has been selected as the supplier.

This tender presents opportunities for growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) involved in heritage, planning, and conservation consultancy. Companies well-suited to compete in this process include those with expertise in documenting and analysing historic environments, as they can contribute valuable insights into integrating heritage considerations within urban development projects. This engagement is critical for accommodating growth while preserving historical assets, presenting a unique niche for businesses focused on sustainable development and heritage management.

## 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.
