This project is categorised under research services and is open to suppliers worldwide. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with interested parties required to express their interest by 17 January 2025. The contract, valued at £12,000 including VAT (£10,000 excluding VAT), will commence on 17 February 2025 and conclude on 16 May 2025. The research will further develop the UWE model by incorporating estimates of embodied carbon for retrofit packages using various secondary data sources. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly SMEs, specialising in research services related to environmental sustainability and historic conservation. By participating, companies can contribute to pivotal research that supports sustainable practices in preserving historic properties. Firms with expertise in environmental data analysis, carbon footprint modelling, and the application of relevant databases will find this project well-suited to their capabilities. Engaging in this project can enhance a company’s portfolio and open doors to future collaborations with Historic England and similar conservation-focused organisations. ## Notice Budget = ?12,000 INC VAT or ?10,000 EX VAT Historic England is seeking to commission research aimed at further developing the UWE model (Organ et al., 2020) by incorporating estimates of the embodied carbon associated with two retrofit packages for the five archetypal historic domestic properties. This will involve utilising secondary data sources such as CINARK, The ICE database, other EPD data sources and any other existing datasets, to establish assumptions and build a model. The objectives of the study o Calculate the embodied carbon of the five retrofit packages identified in previous research (Organ et al., 2020) using the appropriate embodied carbon calculators and databases o Provide a transparent explanation of the research and its analysis. o Produce a report detailing, the research methodology and the findings and a file with the underlying calculations, and modelled data, in a format that meets meet government accessibility requirement, as explained in 1.2.19 o A presentation highlighting the main finding.
