## Summary

The Cornwall Council is initiating a public procurement process titled "A Monumental Improvement" aimed at enhancing scheduled monument sites across Cornwall, specifically outside of West Penwith. The tender is classified under architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services, and is currently in the active stage of the open procurement method. Interested bidders must submit tenders by 31 July 2019, and the contract period extends from 1 November 2019 to 31 August 2020. The estimated contract value is between £80,000 and £90,000, focusing on detailed condition surveys and management recommendations for 27 selected sites within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the architectural and survey services sectors, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies well-suited to compete will likely have experience in heritage site management, conservation, and detailed surveying, enabling them to contribute effectively to the project's long-term goals. Engaging with this contract could facilitate growth and expansion within the heritage sector while allowing businesses to showcase their expertise in preserving and enhancing historical assets.

## Notice

The Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Partnership (AONB) has been encouraged by the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) to apply for a Grant for Heritage for scheduled monument sites across Cornwall within the AONB but outside of West Penwith. The scheme is currently preparing a first stage submission to the NLHF in the summer of 2019. The AONB Partnership Board would like to invite tenders for a piece of work which will support the delivery of the scheme. This brief covers 27 of the 39 sites across Cornwall that are in the scope of the project. Detailed condition surveys are required for these sites, identification of one off capital works required along with long term management recommendations, and brief consideration of opportunities for further work and interpretation on the sites.
