## Summary

The procurement process concerns an award made by Historic England for the project titled "Carbon Reduction Scenarios for the Built Historic Environment." This research initiative aims to enhance carbon reduction methods for historic buildings aligned with the UK’s net zero targets by 2050. The contract, classified under the Research Services category (CPV Code: 73110000), became active on 10th June 2020, with a contract period extending until 13th July 2020. The tender had an overall value of £25,000 and utilised an open procurement method. The deadline for submissions was 26th May 2020, and the project is predominantly located within the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on environmental research and retrofitting, particularly those that specialise in sustainable practices for the built historic environment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in carbon reduction technologies and retrofitting strategies would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Engaging in this sector not only aids in complying with environmental standards but also contributes to the preservation of historical integrity while promoting business growth.

## Notice

Historic England wishes to commission research that refines and develops carbon reduction scenarios for the built historic environment to meet the UKs net zero carbon targets by 2050. The research will develop forecasts of the scale of carbon reduction in the built historic environment and the associated abatement costs that can be delivered through retrofit. Historic residential buildings are today categorised as "hard to decarbonise" buildings, yet they are often the product of low carbon intensive processes using local materials. While the aim of this commission is to estimate reductions in the operational carbon of historic buildings, it is important to acknowledge the embodied carbon contained within existing buildings. The research must also consider the challenges associated with achieving net zero targets without potential widespread damage to the historic environment and people's health.
