## Summary

Historic England has awarded a contract for the procurement titled "Skills Needs Analysis for the Repair, Maintenance and Retrofit of Traditional (pre-1919) Buildings in England". The procurement falls under the industry category of Construction work for buildings relating to education and research and additional classifications include research and development consultancy services. The tender was in the planning stage with a tender period ending on 2nd October 2023. The contract period spans from 9th October 2023 to 22nd March 2024. The buying organisation is Historic England located in Wiltshire, United Kingdom.

This tender awarded to Harlow Consulting Services Limited aims to gather knowledge and skills needed to maintain traditional buildings. Businesses providing research consultancy and construction services can find growth opportunities in this tender. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate in this open procedure procurement, aligning with Historic England's aim to promote diversity in the heritage and construction sectors through skills development.

## Notice

The supply of, and demand for, the knowledge and skills needed to maintain, repair and retrofit our existing traditional building stock is inconsistent. We need credible, up-to-date qualitative and quantitative evidence to illustrate the scale of the problem, and to prioritise future Historic England work, as well as wider sector investment in skills activities. We expect the data to be valuable to the new Cross-Sector Historic Environment Skills Forum as they take forward action plans for meeting skills needs. Knowledge and skills development and the capacity of the sector are central to Historic England's Corporate Plan for 2023-26. It prioritises Levelling Up so that 'economically and socially disadvantaged places become more prosperous due to investment in their heritage, and in the skills required to sustain it' while also working towards a heritage (and construction) sector that is more inclusive and benefits from greater diversity. The necessity of widespread repair and maintenance skills is also central to reducing the energy use of our traditional buildings.
