## Summary

Historic England is commissioning stakeholder research to support its mission and maximise its impact for heritage and communities. The work will assess stakeholder awareness of Historic England, sentiment towards the organisation, and views on its Strategic Priorities as it delivers the 2026–2031 Strategic Plan. This is a research services requirement covering market and economic research, market research, social research and public-opinion polling. The buying organisation is Historic England, a central government public authority. The requirement is for services delivered for Historic England; the procurement identifies no separate delivery location. Businesses specialising in stakeholder insight, public attitudes, social research or strategic communications research should find the subject matter relevant.

The process reached tender: Historic England invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 30 September 2026 at 09:30, and tenders by 5 October 2026 at 09:30. The intended award decision date was 5 October 2026 by 23:59. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with four optional 12-month extensions; the maximum stated end date is 31 March 2031. The estimated value is £226,000 excluding VAT and £271,200 including VAT. The lot value is recorded as AED 226,000. Evaluation is based on 70% quality and 30% price. Electronic submission in English is allowed.

This opportunity suits established research agencies and consultancies able to design and deliver stakeholder, social, market or public-opinion research for a national heritage body. Relevant capability includes developing robust research approaches, gathering and analysing stakeholder awareness and sentiment, testing views on strategic priorities, and turning findings into clear strategic insight. Suppliers with experience of public-sector, cultural, heritage, community or other multi-stakeholder research are well placed to compete. The quality weighting means the proposed methodology, research design, analytical approach, interpretation and usefulness of outputs will be more important than price alone. Delivery must be supported by a team with sufficient research expertise and capacity to complete the initial assignment and any later extensions.
