The deadline for tender submissions is set for September 27, 2023. The contract period is scheduled from October 9, 2023, to March 22, 2024, with delivery addresses across various regions including the United Kingdom. This tender falls under the open procedure below the threshold procurement method. This tender provides an opportunity for businesses offering research and consulting services related to construction to contribute to the maintenance and retrofitting of traditional buildings in England. The focus on skills development creates an avenue for SMEs and VCSEs to engage in a project that prioritizes sector inclusivity and sustainability, aligning with Historic England's Corporate Plan. Businesses able to deliver on research consultancy services, research and development, and heritage construction work are well-suited to compete and potentially grow through this procurement. ## Notice The supply of, and demand for, the knowledge and skills needed to maintain, repair and retrofit our existing traditional building stock is inconsistent. We need credible, up-to-date qualitative and quantitative evidence to illustrate the scale of the problem, and to prioritise future Historic England work, as well as wider sector investment in skills activities. We expect the data to be valuable to the new Cross-Sector Historic Environment Skills Forum as they take forward action plans for meeting skills needs. Knowledge and skills development and the capacity of the sector are central to Historic England's Corporate Plan for 2023-26. It prioritises Levelling Up so that 'economically and socially disadvantaged places become more prosperous due to investment in their heritage, and in the skills required to sustain it' while also working towards a heritage (and construction) sector that is more inclusive and benefits from greater diversity. The necessity of widespread repair and maintenance skills is also central to reducing the energy use of our traditional buildings.
