This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development services, especially those with expertise in environmental and heritage sectors. Companies capable of delivering detailed market research and offering actionable insights into societal attitudes towards climate change will find this contract particularly beneficial. Historic England's focus on acquiring representative and relevant public opinions requires a provider with substantial experience and capability in conducting broad-scale public studies. Given the emphasis on quality with a 65% quality weighting in the award criteria, businesses that can demonstrate high-quality service delivery and comprehensive research methodologies are well-suited to thrive in such initiatives.

## Notice

Various research projects by Historic England and other organisations have been done exploring attitudes to climate change, but a comprehensive population study hasn't yet been done to produce representative and actionable insights into how people perceive and feel about climate-related loss of heritage (defined as places that people and communities tend to feel attached to: historic buildings; parks; war memorials; locations of historic events; and coastal heritage sites). Historic England wishes to fill this gap to inform some of the Climate Action elements of our Corporate Plan: Further details of this project can be found within the Invitation to Tender (ITT) document.
