## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Historic England for the "HSHAZ Programme Evaluation – Impact Insights - UID 139" project has concluded with the award of a contract. The process was managed through an open competition method, specifically below the threshold. Historic England, a public authority under the sub-central government category, headquartered in Swindon, UK, sought to enhance its evaluation of the £95 million High Street Heritage Action Zones programme by commissioning data journalism services. The contract was successfully awarded to genecon, a small and medium-sized enterprise based in London. Key dates include the start of the contract on 12th January 2026 and its completion on 31st March 2026. The contract, valued at £6,960 gross, aims to present the programme's data in an engaging way to a wide public audience.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the data journalism and research sectors to showcase their expertise in transforming complex data into accessible and impactful narratives. Companies equipped to handle market research, preservation of historical sites, and social research services can find significant growth potential in projects like this. Organisations experienced in managing research services and developing media content for public engagement will find themselves well-suited to compete for similar contracts, offering a platform to demonstrate innovative approaches in data presentation within the public sector. The successful bidder stands to gain visibility and credibility within heritage-focused initiatives, a key area of investment for Historic England.

## Notice

In March 2025, Historic England published its evaluation of the PS95 million High Street Heritage Action Zones (HSHAZ) programme. We have an opportunity to build on this work by commissioning a data journalist to examine existing data and evidence and present it in a way that is engaging and impactful for a wide public audience. This project seeks to test if, and how, data journalism might be applied to the data generated through the HSHAZ programme and its evaluation.
