## Summary

The procurement process for the project titled "8003 Design Codes and the Historic Environment - AWARD" was conducted by Historic England, focusing on research and development services related to the historic environment. This tender, classified under the CPV code 73000000, is now in the Award stage, having been completed on 28th February 2020. Key dates included the contract period starting on 2nd March 2020 and ending on 3rd July 2020. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, with a contract value of £31,995, aimed at developing design codes that incorporate historic elements within new developments.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services, particularly those with experience in urban planning, architecture, and historical preservation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, as the project aims to reflect diverse insights into design practices. Companies that can demonstrate a strong understanding of the interplay between development and historical context would be particularly well-suited to participate and leverage this opportunity for growth.

## Notice

Design Codes are planning tools which provide detailed advice and guidance in the design of new development. The Codes, are prescriptive in that they describe 'design requirements' (sometimes referred to as 'rules') that development should adhere too. This ranges from general guidance - how buildings should connect to streetscapes and roadways, and open space provision, for example - through to requirements for built form, i.e. the scale and form of buildings that are permitted as well as the materials used. The over-arching aim of this project is to understand how the historic environment has been reflected in Design Codes, drawing conclusions from examples of good and bad practice, and to develop a Design Code for the historic environment.
