## Summary

The procurement process for the "Higher Education Institutions Research Alignment report" has been awarded to the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) by Historic England. This public procurement falls under the category of research and development consultancy services, specifically focusing on the alignment of historic environment-related research within Higher Education Institutions across the United Kingdom. The contracting authority, Historic England, based in Swindon, published the award on 15 April 2020, following an open tendering process which began with submissions closing on 7 February 2020. The contract period runs from 1 March 2020 to 30 September 2020, with a total awarded value of £21,446.40 GBP, encompassing various research consultancy services.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in research consultancy, particularly those focused on economic and social research services, as well as museum services and historic preservation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in mapping and aligning research or those offering innovative tools for ongoing data management in education sectors would be particularly well-suited to compete in this space. The successful contractor can potentially leverage their existing relationships with academic institutions and stakeholders in historic research to expand their market reach.

## Notice

Historic England is seeking to appoint an external consultant to undertake a project in order for Historic England, and its partners, to get a better overview and understanding of what historic environment associated research is currently being undertaken in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). We want to map this, to show alignment to (or mismatch with) our main research areas, and to develop a process/tool that will keep this information current in the future.
