## Summary

Historic England, a central government public authority based in Swindon, UK, recently completed a procurement process titled "Historic Environment Record Researcher Pilot Scheme." This scheme, which falls under the environmental management industry category, was conducted through a direct procurement method below the threshold and without competition. The process was completed on 18th September 2025, as indicated by the award tag, and covered numerous regions across the UK, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, and others. The original contract spanned from 28th July 2025 to 31st March 2026, with a total gross value of £21,954.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental management services, particularly those equipped to handle sustainability and climate change initiatives. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like Alice Cattermole Heritage Consultancy, which successfully secured the award, may find opportunities for growth through similar government contracts. These businesses can leverage their expertise in developing sustainable frameworks and toolkits, crucial for local authorities managing historical assets affected by climate change. The project also suggests potential for forming partnerships or networks focused on providing resources for environmental and heritage management.

## Notice

The Historic Environment Research pilot will help local authorities prepare for and manage climate change driven impacts to historic assets using prototype decision-making frameworks and toolkits. The postholder will be responsible for working with a small group of local authorities to pilot their use. The design, development and testing of the prototype decision-making frameworks and toolkits will be based on the main source of information about historic assets held by local authorities: their Historic Environment Record (HER) datasets. The project will ensure that the framework/tool-kit products are user-focused and realistic in their resource requirements; they will be risk-based, and they will follow a cyclical model of planning, identifying, analysing, taking action and monitoring effect.
