## Summary

Historic England, a sub-central government public authority based in Swindon, has successfully completed an open tender process, resulting in a contract award to KiKa Training Limited. The procurement, titled "Research to support the scoping of a Train the Trainer programme for the Level 3 Award in Energy Efficiency Measures for Older and Traditional Buildings - NP380B," falls under the services category, focusing on market research, training, and consultancy services. The contract, valued at £5,670 gross, commenced on 17th November 2025 and will conclude by 28th February 2026. The tender process was structured as a below-threshold open competition, with a submission deadline of 10th November 2025.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in training and consultancy, particularly those with expertise in retrofitting historic buildings. The project supports the enhancement of the Level 3 Award in Energy Efficiency for such structures, requiring detailed research to develop a 'Train the Trainer' programme. Enterprises specialising in educational resources, market analysis, and technical training will find this venture particularly relevant, as it aligns with the growing demand for qualified trainers in energy efficiency retrofit projects, thus opening avenues for collaborative partnerships and service expansion in this niche market.

## Notice

Cadw, Historic England (HE) and Historic Environment Scotland (HES) have been collaborating to strengthen the delivery of the Level 3 Award in Energy Efficiency Measures for Older and Traditional Buildings (L3). The Award is the primary accredited retrofit qualification specifically focussed on historic buildings and a requirement of PAS2035 for publicly funded retrofit projects of traditional buildings. So far, this work has focussed on making improvements to the National Occupational Standards that underpin the award, supporting collaboration between awarding bodies to improve consistency across their offers and developing resources to support learners and training providers (such as a course handbook published in early 2025). A future direction we are currently exploring is the development of a Train the Trainer programme that would provide technical training to existing and incoming training providers to ensure they have the expertise required to deliver the L3 qualification. We are seeking external consultancy to undertake research that will provide us with key qualitative and quantitative data for scoping options for the Train the Trainer programme, in particular focussing on the scale of intervention required for the programme to have a meaningful impact on the retrofit workforce.
