This procurement falls under an open procedure and is at the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 9th September 2024, at 09:30 BST. The contract will run from 14th October 2024 to 31st March 2025. This project seeks facilitative evaluators to illustrate the value and assess the cost-effectiveness of national amenity societies, aiming to inform funding decisions for heritage conservation activities. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research consultancy, heritage preservation, and planning systems. SMEs are encouraged to participate, providing a chance to showcase their expertise in evaluating and promoting the public value of heritage conservation projects. Successful bidders will have the opportunity to collaborate closely with Historic England and various national amenity societies, potentially leading to further contracts within the heritage and conservation sectors. This project is well-suited for businesses with a track record in delivering value-for-money assessments and conducting comprehensive evaluations of cultural and historical initiatives. ## 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.
