This procurement process falls under the research and development services sector, specifically focusing on delivering consultancy services. The tender is in the active stage and is set to close on 17 September 2017. The contract period will commence from 2 October 2017 and run until 31 December 2018. The total budget allocated for this project is £12,000, with the procurement method being selective under a negotiated procedure. The activities will primarily take place in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, a region identified for its unique social challenges and lesser funding support. This tender represents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in community development, heritage consultancy, or project management. Businesses that understand the complexities of funding applications and can provide tailored support to community organisations will be well-suited to compete. With a focus on reducing bureaucracy for small grants, there is potential for innovative proposals that can effectively engage local stakeholders and enhance heritage activities, fostering growth in the competitive landscape of community projects. ## Notice HLF has a range of funding programmes, which are set out on the web site; each programme has its own guidance, enquiry forms, application forms, and information which organisations should consult before and during an application. Applications are made online through the web site. We also publish a range of good-practice guidance, which applicants are encouraged to read. Our grants programme 'Sharing Heritage' provides grants of PS3,000- PS10,000 for small-scale heritage projects that will undertake a range of activity to help people and communities discover and share their heritage. HLF is currently exploring the potential to distribute smaller grants (PS500-PS3,000) in future. There is awareness that for some projects PS3,000 is more than they need and the application process needs to be proportionate to the size of award; it also needs to reflect the capabilities of the organisations which might apply for a small award. HLF is also interested in extending our grant making to individuals. We are proposing to pilot an approach to flexible and quicker award of grants under PS3,000 from October 2017 to March 2018 in Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria. This is a priority area for HLF with lower than average funding to date. It is also an area with complex social issues. The aim of the pilot is to catalyse new community heritage activity in Barrow through a more flexible approach to awarding small amounts of funding. The pilot will start with a workshop in Barrow, with key stakeholders, to scope the project in detail. The HLF North West Development Team will then work with community organisations and community members who are interested in heritage, and HLF officers will award funding to community organisations, and potentially to individuals, at events, meetings, funding fairs etc. This will reduce the time and the bureaucracy associated with an application for a small grant. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e37a4bc-37e3-439f-bf63-2658fb6ab0c8 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Sep 2017 | | Submission deadline | 17 Sep 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Oct 2017 - 31 Dec 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £12,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL HERITAGE MEMORIAL FUND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1W 8NR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI33 Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham | | Local authority | Kensington and Chelsea | | Electoral ward | Royal Hospital | | Westminster constituency | Chelsea and Fulham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 14 Sep 2017 at 07:06 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e37a4bc-37e3-439f-bf63-2658fb6ab0c8 - 30 Aug 2017 at 09:28 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e37a4bc-37e3-439f-bf63-2658fb6ab0c8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e37a4bc-37e3-439f-bf63-2658fb6ab0c8 14th September 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/764ebe4d-79fc-48ce-85dd-a919e4483e73 TENDER DOCUMENT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c230cfb9-9299-417c-b801-40723e10fe6a Questions and Answers ## Notice URLs - http://www.hlf.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
