## Summary

This opportunity falls under the "Research and development services and related consultancy services" category and targets work in the Luton area, specifically within the UKH21 region. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage with an open competition method, where electronic submissions are allowed. Interested parties must make enquiries by 13th August 2025 and submit tenders by 18th August 2025. The contract is set to commence on 23rd August 2025 and conclude by 22nd August 2026, with a total gross value of £50,399.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on historical and environmental consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in heritage studies. The procurement process encourages participation from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as evidenced by the suitability criteria. Companies that can deliver high-quality research and demonstrate effective pricing strategies stand to benefit from the quality and price weighting approach, set at 70% for quality and 30% for price. Engaging in this contract could enhance a firm's portfolio, offering a visible role in shaping Luton's heritage strategy and planning, which in turn could lead to further opportunities in public sector consultancy.

## Notice

The requirement is to produce a Historic Environment Study comprising of Conservation Area Appraisals, the review of Luton's local heritage list including its registered parks and gardens, scheduled monuments and potential archaeological sites to provide the baseline of the historic environment in Luton. Additionally, there is also the requirement to produce Heritage Impact Assessments for site allocations to be included in the new Local Plan. It is likely that the council will also require Conservation Area Management Plans to be produced, however, this will be reviewed once tenders have been received and confirmed before the award.
