The procurement is classified under research and development services and related consultancy services, with a total contract value of £25,000. The contract was initiated following an open procedure and has a contract period commencing on 13th August 2020 and concluding on 29th October 2020. The location for potential delivery includes various addresses in the United Kingdom and abroad, including British Overseas Territories and Europe. Notably, the award was published on 18th August 2020, with the procurement stage now complete. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in design, architecture, and consultancy within historic conservation and planning. Companies that have expertise in developing design guidelines or digital solutions tailored to heritage environments are particularly well-suited to compete. Furthermore, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can participate, indicating that this project favours innovative and agile providers who can contribute effectively to enhancing the interface between contemporary design practices and the preservation of historic assets. This effort not only supports the sustainability of heritage sites but also provides a platform for specialised services in the growing field of historic environment consultancy. ## Notice England's cities, towns, and countryside are the products of change over a long period of time. The heritage values of these places - historic street patterns, the development of vernacular building styles and the use of traditional construction materials, as well as the fieldscapes that surround us - are the most visible elements of this on-going process of change and the goal is to ensure that the historic environment continues to make a positive contribution to the future form and character of places. Historic England already provides a suite of practical help and guidance designed to encourage improved and appropriate development and regeneration in historic environments . These are available on the Historic England website: other supporting documentation is available via Historic England Advice Notes and related guidance . Key documents include: Historic England's Place-making strategy ; the setting of historic assets ; advice on Tall Buildings ; Understanding Place ; Building in Context ; and Streets for All . It is absolutely essential that our work and guidance reflects and responds to any changes to the planning system and must reference more recent policy and design guidance (e.g. the National Design Guide) to help frame emerging planning policy and assess its impacts on historic assets and places. This commissioned project will use specialist design consultants to, where necessary, update our design-related guidance and unite it as a single 'design offer', making sure it reflects recent (and progressing) developments in government policy, and so that it can be presented on a single section of the Historic England's website. The project's products should be usable by all those with an interest in design quality in historic places such as landowners, developers and planners, as well as individuals and communities. This project should: - facilitate a better understanding of the vulnerability, significance and value of the historic environment - support the protection and enhancement of surviving fabric and character in the light of the pressures and opportunities that flow from development and other, related, scenarios - result in beneficial and sustainable outcomes for the historic environment, including through improving the design of change The products of the project will be material to be used on Historic England's website and in related training events. Historic England is aware of a wide range of construction and design 'apps' currently available and, with this is mind, we are keen to explore innovative options for how we might capture and present the data in a digital, potentially interactive, environment, e.g. providing an immersive experience for a user to interact with the design process such as makeover for a building using different materials, or window to wall ratios, or similar. The outcomes from this project will be used within Historic England to frame and develop a Historic ... ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cb800411-a554-415b-aa8a-a7f250a23219 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Aug 2020 | | Submission deadline | 6 Aug 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 17 Aug 2020 | | Contract period | 12 Aug 2020 - 29 Oct 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £20,738 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HISTORIC ENGLAND | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 2EH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Mannington and Western | | Westminster constituency | Swindon South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | PURCELL | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 18 Aug 2020 at 16:29 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cb800411-a554-415b-aa8a-a7f250a23219 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cb800411-a554-415b-aa8a-a7f250a23219 18th August 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/historic-england/aspx/Home ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
