This initiative falls under the category of research and development services, with a focus on understanding the historical impact of the Transatlantic Slave Economy on England's built environment. The tender is at the active stage and is being offered through an open procedure, with a bid submission deadline set for 4 March 2020. The contract period is scheduled to start on 16 March 2020 and conclude on 5 June 2020, with an estimated value of £16,000. This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses engaged in research, consultancy, and related services, particularly those with expertise in historical research, cultural studies, and urban development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to participate, as they can leverage their specialised knowledge to provide valuable insights into the relationships between historical events and built environments. Interested suppliers must register via the designated portal to express interest and gain access to the necessary documentation. ## Notice To carry out a desk-based audit of existing research into the Transatlantic Slave Economy (TSE) in England, with an emphasis on work exploring its impact on the built environment. The wealth derived from the TSE is understood to have had a significant impact on the built environment of our cities, towns, and landscapes but the research and evidence to support this is largely non-existent. An overview of research in this sphere will provide a fuller, more integrated, understanding of what has been done. It will capture and provide a brief description of the research disseminated via a range of media - books, articles, databases, exhibitions, etc.- including the significant body of work produced as part of the marking in 2007 of the bi-centenary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act, and will form a valuable research output in its own right.
