## Summary

Historic England is seeking to engage with service providers for a project titled "Understanding the Heritage Dividend UID 112/NP 389," situated in Swindon, United Kingdom. This procurement process is at the tender stage, with the deadline for submission set for 24th November 2025 at 09:30 AM GMT. The project's primary focus is within the research and development services industry, specifically targeting heritage investment's effects on local regeneration. The procurement method is open, offering an excellent opportunity for relevant businesses to participate in an international competitive process with services valued at £45,000. 

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research services, market research, and social research, particularly those with a keen interest in heritage conservation and economic regeneration. Companies experienced in research consultancy, economic analysis, and consultancy for historical buildings may find this contract particularly beneficial. With an emphasis on quality over price in the award criteria (70% quality, 30% price), well-qualified businesses with innovative approaches to heritage-led regeneration will be well-placed to compete effectively. Successful involvement in this tender could lead to further engagements in transformative heritage projects across the UK.

## Notice

This project aims to improve our understanding of when and why heritage investment triggers a 'heritage dividend'--a catalytic effect where initial heritage-led projects stimulate significant follow-on investment and sustained regeneration. Building on nine High Street Heritage Action Zone case studies and exemplar projects like Nottingham's Lace Market and the North Kent coastal town of Whitstable, the research will develop a theory of change explaining the mechanisms (such as confidence signalling, clustering, identity reinforcement and cultural branding) and enabling conditions that produce durable impacts. Deliverables include a theory of change model, reports, policy brief, stakeholder workshop, and comparative data. For more detailed information please see the attached ITT.
