## Summary

The procurement process has been completed for the project titled "8053 Review of Historic England Grants Delivery," initiated by Historic England, located in Swindon, United Kingdom. This award falls under the research and development services category, primarily focusing on enhancing grant administration. The tender process was open, with a total contract value of £32,375, awarded on 7th September 2020, for services expected to commence on 1st September 2020 and conclude by 28th February 2021. The minimum contract value was set at £25,000, and the tender period concluded on 19th August 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services related to grant administration and research. Companies that possess expertise in reviewing and enhancing organisational structures, particularly those focused on heritage and cultural sectors, would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts. The robust structure set up by Historic England indicates a commitment to improving grant processes, which could translate to more opportunities for qualified consultancy firms eager to facilitate this transformation.

## Notice

Our Grant Schemes are an essential part of our work to protect the nation's heritage. The last review of Historic England (HE) grant giving was undertaken as part of the recent Change Programme with a direction of travel for grant administration approved by Executive Team in order to help determine the organisations structure. This created a central Grants Team in the Business Improvement Group, alongside continued local grant management in the six Regional Teams. The aim of this structure is to deliver a more consistent approach to grant giving, a more flexible approach to budget management/spend between HE schemes and a better experience for applicants. The aim of this project is to provide HE with a clearer understanding of its grant giving process across all grants streams and schemes, including the High Streets Heritage Action Zones (HSHAZ) scheme and our professional advice and consultancy budgets. It will summarise our grant giving, benchmark our administration to other grant givers funded from the public purse, and make a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of the HE grants delivery and administration processes. It will consider whether it remains fit for purpose, reflects our ambition to develop a more inclusive sector, make recommendations for change (if necessary), and inform a grants delivery improvement strategy supporting reform of HE grants delivery and ensuring the organisation remains successful in its mission to provide public value. Please note references to the Tailored Review in this brief - this is in draft and confidential the Review has not been released.
