The process, conducted through an open competition below the threshold, was aimed at creating and signposting resources to support community engagement with historic places. Key dates include the submission deadline on 1st December 2025 and contract activity starting from 15th December 2025 to 27th March 2026. Courage Works Ltd, a small to medium enterprise, has been awarded the contract for this initiative, valued at £17,000 with gross amount considerations reaching £20,400 in GBP. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in community engagement, heritage management, and resource development. Companies with expertise in creating databases, conducting research, and providing consultancy services, particularly those prioritising cultural heritage and community development, will find this procurement especially advantageous. The scope for signposting existing sector resources adds an innovative edge, encouraging firms to leverage their existing portfolios to benefit community assets. Businesses focusing on similar service offerings can follow this model to expand their operations by targeting similar upcoming tenders. The initiative promised a high-quality score emphasis with price contributing to 15% of the award criteria, suggesting a strong opportunity for businesses focused on excellence in service delivery. ## Notice This requirement is for creating and signposting a coherent set of resources aimed at community audiences supporting volunteers, local delivery bodies, and communities in understanding, caring for and managing their local historic places. The products are divided into four groups: * Group 1 - Resources which help volunteers to collect condition data about heritage assets * Group 2 - Resources for delivery bodies to help them recruit, train and manage volunteers working on heritage projects * Group 3 - Advice and planning tools for communities wishing to base events/activities around heritage in their area deliver positive social outcomes for local people. * Group 4 - Resources to support fundraising for community projects * Group 5 (OUT OF SCOPE OF THIS PROCUREMENT) - Resources to help volunteers and communities engage with local planning authorities Historic England is aware that resources exist across the cultural sector which may address the needs of communities under some of these groups. Where appropriate resources already exist contractors should ensure that they are signposted in this new suite and appropriately credited. Historic England does not wish to create new resources where adequate resources are already available and can be signposted. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/084486-2025 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Dec 2025 | | Submission deadline | 1 Dec 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 11 Dec 2025 | | Contract period | 15 Dec 2025 - 27 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £17,000 | | Lots value | £17,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £17,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HISTORIC ENGLAND | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 2EH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Mannington and Western | | Westminster constituency | Swindon South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | COURAGE WORKS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 72320000 - Database services - 73110000 - Research services - 73210000 - Research consultancy services - 73220000 - Development consultancy services - 79419000 - Evaluation consultancy services - 92500000 - Library, archives, museums and other cultural services - 98300000 - Miscellaneous services ## Release History - 18 Dec 2025 at 14:51 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/084486-2025 - 10 Nov 2025 at 14:23 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/072463-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/084486-2025 18th December 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/072463-2025 10th November 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.caracourage.net - http://www.historicengland.org.uk - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/historicengland/aspx/Home - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
