## Summary

The procurement process led by Historic England involved commissioning trainers with expertise in building performance evaluation to conduct online workshops aimed at their staff. These workshops are part of a learning programme to support the application of Historic England's Advice Note 18, focusing on adapting historic buildings for energy and carbon efficiency. Taking place at their base in Swindon, UK, under OCID ocds-h6vhtk-05ef38, the tender process employed an open competition method below the threshold. The award was completed with the contract running from 5th January 2026 to 31st March 2026, following an active status as of 22nd January 2026. The open procurement method facilitated engagement under a public authority, sub-central government classification within the services industry category.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in building consultancy services and training, particularly those experienced in incorporating energy efficiency in historic structures. Companies offering expertise in online training services and familiar with the specific needs of historic preservation stand to benefit greatly. The project, having already been awarded to NDM Health Ltd, illustrates the potential for large-scale enterprises to leverage their specialised skills in competitive procurement environments, especially in government-backed initiatives focusing on sustainable practices within architectural preservation. Businesses with a focus on educational services around specialised technical knowledge are well-positioned to compete for similar opportunities.
