## Summary

Walsall Council has completed a procurement process for the "WP3649 - Heritage Strategy Consultants" project, which aims to develop a Heritage Strategy and Action Plan for the borough covering 2021-2026. This initiative was funded through a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) and aims to enhance the council's heritage capacity. The civil engineering consultancy services were solicited through an open procurement method, concluding with the award on 25th November 2020, for a total contract value of £23,355. The project will be undertaken in Walsall, West Midlands, and the contract period extends from 25th November 2020 to 31st July 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in consultancy services, particularly those specialising in civil engineering, heritage strategy, and project management. Companies with experience in community engagement and heritage conservation would be well positioned to contribute to this project, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The focus on stimulating local heritage activity and enhancing economic growth indicates potential for businesses to establish long-term partnerships with Walsall Council and influence heritage initiatives across the borough.

## Notice

Walsall Council is seeking a high quality provider to develop a Heritage Strategy and Action Plan for Walsall covering the period 2021-2026. The Council has received confirmation of a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) to improve the Council's heritage capacity and to stimulate heritage activity across the borough. The grant-funded project has two elements. Firstly, the commissioning of a heritage strategy and action plan, and secondly the creation of 1.25 FTE roles within the council to deliver elements of the strategy. This heritage strategy and action plan will set the agenda for the Council and potholders' work over the next 3 years to both champion heritage within the Council and stimulate interest in heritage in its most diverse forms across the borough. Walsall is one of 13 local authority areas identified in the NLHF's Strategic Funding Framework as being a priority for activity because of low uptake of applications and deprivation. Therefore, the strategy and action plan needs to set out a pathway to boldly demonstrate how heritage can deliver economic and community priorities.
