## Summary

The National Heritage Memorial Fund is currently engaged in the procurement process for the project titled "INNOVATION ACCELERATOR: DISCOVERY & DESIGN PHASE". This initiative falls within the research and development consultancy services sector and is located in London, England. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 7 January 2021. The contract is set to commence on 1 February 2021 and will run until 30 July 2021. The total value of the tender is £75,000, aimed at enhancing resilience, inclusion, wellbeing, and economic contribution in response to Covid-19's impact on heritage funding objectives.

Businesses equipped to innovatively support the heritage sector's recovery and adapt to new operational contexts would be well-positioned to compete. Expertise in developing resilient and inclusive strategies is essential, making this an attractive opportunity for organisations committed to making a positive impact in the heritage landscape across the UK.

## Notice

NHMF invests in the full breadth of the UK's heritage and, through our funding, we aim to make a lasting difference for heritage and people. This is reflected in the outcomes for heritage, people and communities which underpin our grant-making and the objectives set out in our Strategic Funding Framework: https://www.heritagefund.org.uk/sites/default/files/media/attachments/Heritage Fund - Strategic Funding Framework 2019-2024.pdf In recognition of the inevitable impact Covid-19 will have on long ranging funding objectives, the National Lottery Heritage Fund wants to explore how we can best proactively work alongside organisations both within and beyond the heritage sector to support the development, testing and adoption of the new approaches required for heritage to continue to deliver positive impact for people, places and communities across the UK at a time of volatile and shifting operating contexts. From 2021/22 we are seeking to prioritise the following strategic funding objectives, in recognition of their importance to a sustainable long-term Covid-19 recovery response: a. Resilience: Support the organisations we fund to be more robust, enterprising and forward looking b. Inclusion: Ensure that heritage is inclusive c. Wellbeing: Demonstrate how heritage helps people and places to thrive d. Economy: Grow the contribution heritage makes to the UK economy A FULL DESCRIPTION IS CONTAINED IN THE ATTATCHED ITT Additional information: Please note the updated ITT reflects the need to perform clarification questions and answers by emailing the Fund questions and the Fund posting answers on Contract Finder.
