The total budget for this tender is set at £60,000 gross, with a net amount of £50,000 GBP. Potential suppliers can submit their tenders electronically via the designated submission platform.

This tender presents a substantial business opportunity for companies specialising in research services and consultancy, especially those with experience in heritage and strategic planning. Given the focus on developing a strategic framework for historic environment research, businesses that can demonstrate an alignment with current organisational and government priorities will have a competitive advantage. Companies with the capability to integrate academic agendas and support heritage sector needs are particularly well-suited for this opportunity, encouraging collaboration with Historic England and its partners.
