This procurement process is at the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 20 May 2019. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 1 August 2019 and extend until 1 August 2022. The minimum estimated value of the contract is £900,000, and the maximum value is £1,500,000, with contractors required to deliver signage across various locations, including the United Kingdom and other territories. This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) involved in signage design and installation, particularly those with experience in heritage sites or similar sectors. Businesses that specialise in creating informative and aesthetically pleasing signage that complies with historical site regulations will be well-positioned to compete. Interested suppliers are encouraged to register on the English Heritage's procurement portal to express their interest and access further documentation. ## Notice The English Heritage Trust is a charity that manages 412 historic properties. These properties represent a precious collection of physical remains from a long span of England's history. 118 properties are staffed, and some are managed through Local Management Agreements, while the remainder are free to visit. In opening our historic properties to visitors, we need to ensure that we provide the information necessary for them to navigate and understand the properties as part of their overall experience. A core element of this is well thought out signage. 1Getting signage at properties right is very important. The overall presentation of our sites says a great deal about us as an organisation, and we aspire to the highest standards in ensuring that signs are appropriately positioned, in good condition, properly worded and relevant. All of our signs conform to a design style, developed with our Brand & Design team. Signs can be either surface or post mounted. When we install new signage, consideration has to be given to a sign's impact on setting and/or historic fabric. English Heritage has to obtain Class 6 consent (SMC6) for any installation on a scheduled site. Occasionally signs may need planning permission. For locations where there are significant archaeological remains at shallow depth, it may be possible to install a sign with a plate footing, rather than a post fixed in concrete.
