## Summary

This public procurement process was conducted by Historic England, a central government authority based in Swindon, UK. The contract, titled "DA - Which funder for what Places of Worship - UID 238," falls within the services industry category, specifically research services. The procurement was for a guidance document to assist Places of Worship volunteers in identifying appropriate funders for repair and adaptation projects. The procurement method used was direct and below threshold, meaning it was awarded without competition. The key dates for this tender included a completion date for the basic guidance document by mid-April 2026, with a full detailed note by mid-May 2026. The final contract was active from 13 April 2026 to 30 June 2026, with the award notice published on 9 June 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in research services and consultancy related to grant funding and heritage projects. GOOD FAITH SOLUTIONS LTD, an SME based in Littlehampton, successfully secured this contract, reflecting the potential for businesses with expertise in developing detailed guidance and analysis in niche markets like heritage renovation funding. Companies that can provide tailored consultancy services with a focus on the public and heritage sector would find such tenders appealing for expanding their business reach and establishing credibility within government procurement networks.

## Notice

Guidance for Places of Worship (POW) volunteers to help them identify appropriate funders for specific elements of repair and adaptation projects. This need has been prompted by the announcement of the Places of Worship Renewal Fund (PWRF) primarily offering capital funding for repairs from April 2026. 1. by mid-April, a basic document is made available which identifies POW funders (i.e. what they will and won't fund, the range of grants available, contact details etc) 2. by mid-May (when PWRF applicants whose expressions of interest will not be taken forward into full applications will be notified) a more detailed guidance note is available to support further fund-raising, in the form of a decision-tree that helps POW volunteers navigate the POW funding sector.
