## Summary

Historic England has completed a procurement process for a study titled "Value-for-money appraisal of formal and deemed national amenity societies", classified under Research services (CPV: 73110000) and Preservation services of historical sites (CPV: 92522100). The project aims to evaluate the efficiency and value of national amenity societies over a six-month period. Located in Swindon, Wiltshire, with a delivery scope extending to the United Kingdom and beyond, the contract was awarded to ERS Ltd on 25th September 2024. The project commenced on 14th October 2024 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2025, with a total contract value of £28,975 GBP. This procurement was conducted via an open procedure, making it accessible to various interested parties.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and heritage conservation. Companies with expertise in evaluating the impact of historical preservation activities and those capable of illustrating value for money in public investments stand to benefit. SMEs can particularly leverage this opportunity to grow their market footprint as the tender explicitly welcomes their participation. By contributing to this study, businesses can enhance their portfolio in the heritage conservation domain, potentially securing further contracts with Historic England and other similar organisations.

## Notice

Historic England is seeking to commission one or more facilitative evaluators to work with representatives of the national amenity societies and Historic England over a 6-month period not only to illustrate the value of the work of the societies but also to provide evidence for a new settlement with the eight organisations treated as national amenity societies which currently receive a financial contribution from Historic England towards the costs of their activities in relation to heritage conservation. This work will include an assessment both (a) of the value for money currently obtained from supporting the societies and (b) of the potential for additional public value should more funding be made available. The purpose of the study is both to illustrate the value of the work of the national amenity societies, which are currently financially supported through Historic England to carry out their activities in relation to heritage conservation, and to provide evidence for a new settlement with the eight relevant organisations (listed in Appendix A). The study aims are: i) To illustrate the value-creating activities of the national amenity societies; ii) To assess the relative value for money of the current work of each society; iii) To identify potential for more public benefit from higher public investment; iv) To inform Historic England's judgement of future support for the relevant organisations.
