## Summary

Historic England is seeking consultancy services to support the production of non-statutory guidance for heritage premises that need to comply with the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, commonly known as Martyn’s Law. The work includes developing fictional case studies showing how heritage premises might implement effective counter-terrorism procedures and measures. This is primarily a research and consultancy assignment, with a design consultancy element. The intended audience and setting are heritage premises, so relevant work may involve translating technical or regulatory requirements into practical guidance for owners, operators and managers of historic buildings. The buying organisation is Historic England, a central government public authority based in Swindon. The requirement is for services rather than goods or construction works.

The procurement has reached tender: Historic England invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot requirement. Enquiries were due by 7 September 2026 at 17:00, and offers were due by 9 September 2026 at 09:30. Electronic submission was allowed. The contract is scheduled to run from 28 September 2026 to 5 February 2027. The estimated value is £13,000 excluding tax and £15,600 including tax. The lot value is also recorded as 13,000 excluding tax and 15,600 including tax, but with AED shown as the currency, so bidders should verify the applicable currency in the tender documents. Evaluation is weighted 35% on price and 65% on quality.

This opportunity suits a research or consultancy business able to investigate counter-terrorism practice and turn findings into clear, usable guidance for heritage premises. Strong candidates are likely to combine research capability with experience of writing case studies, designing guidance or communicating complex compliance requirements to non-specialist audiences. Relevant expertise could include heritage building operations, security risk management, emergency planning, terrorism protection or regulatory implementation, where it directly supports the required outputs. The work calls for fictional but credible examples of effective procedures and measures, so suppliers should be able to understand varied heritage settings and present proportionate, practical approaches. The requirement may suit a specialist consultancy, a multidisciplinary team or a research-and-design partnership.
