## Summary

Historic England, a renowned agency located in Swindon, Wiltshire, United Kingdom, has commenced the award stage for the procurement process titled "2026 Board Effectiveness Review (BER)." The focus is on performance review services within the industry category, with a contract period starting from 1 April 2026 and ending on 31 December 2026. The process followed a selective procurement method, particularly a restricted procedure, with the tender period concluding on 4 March 2026. The contract was awarded to Campbell Tickell for the amount of £24,800 and involves conducting a comprehensive external review of the Historic England Commission over several months, with critical engagements planned throughout the year, concluding with a presentation in December 2026 in London.

This tender opens up opportunities for consultancies experienced in governance and effectiveness reviews, particularly those familiar with performance review services. Businesses capable of devising tailored approaches for large organisations' governance evaluation would be well-suited to engage in similar opportunities. While Historic England does not specify a preference for SMEs or VCSEs in this instance, firms with robust experience in interviews, surveys, and documentation scrutiny will find ample opportunity for growth in the consultancy sector, especially in roles requiring close collaboration with senior executives and board members across diverse locales.

## Notice

To carry out a BER with the completed report available by mid-November 2026 and then present and discuss that report with Commission in person on 10 December 2026. The successful consultancy will devise its own approach but at a minimum they will include: * a meeting with the Head of Governance (in person or online) before commencing work; * observation at one or more meetings of Commission in person (meetings are held in London) (approximately three hours); * interviews of Commissioners including the Chairman, whether in person or online; * interviews (in person or online) of several senior staff including the Co-CEOs; * a written survey of all Commissioners; * and scrutiny of documents relating to Commission and its work such as terms of reference, minutes etcetera.
