This procurement falls under the services category and is presently in the Award stage, having been published on 7th March 2022, with a tender submission deadline that closed on 6th April 2022. The contract, valued at £89,865, is set to commence on 6th May 2022 and will run until 30th June 2023, encompassing activities designed to address long-term workforce challenges in the heritage sector. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in consultancy, particularly those specialising in research and development. Companies focused on innovation, training, and support in the heritage sector would find this programme aligns well with their services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement is designated to be inclusive of such organisations, thus fostering competitive engagement from diverse suppliers aiming to make a meaningful impact in heritage support initiatives. ## Notice The Heritage Fund is looking to appoint an innovation support partner to provide a tailored programme of non-financial support for heritage organisations as part of a future pilot initiative. As part of our wider work to bolster cross-sector recovery and long-term resilience, this forthcoming innovation programme will seek to help UK heritage to explore, develop and test new approaches that have the potential to respond to long-range heritage workforce challenges. Discovery research which engaged with sector representatives evidenced workforce challenges as a consistent, persistent, and widespread theme across all heritage sectors with clear opportunities to experiment with new models of working and thinking. As the first step, we want to provide experimenting practitioners from any sphere of UK heritage with a structured programme of support providing access to the time, skills, learning and peer support needed to stimulate and incubate new ideas for future heritage working practices. This initial commission spans two phases: * Pre-application workshops (May and October 2022) * Cohort content design and facilitation across the two cohorts (August 2022 - June 2023) NB: We anticipate two cohorts consisting of approximately 17 organisations (34 in total), will be awarded pilot funding by the Heritage Fund. Each cohort will work intensively with the innovation support partner over the initial 6 month period of their grant so that they are prepared and ready to prototype and test their ideas if further funding is secured.
