## Summary

Historic England is procuring a heritage education and teacher professional development service for the South West of England. The appointed organisation will design and deliver a programme that builds teachers’ confidence, capacity and capability to use local heritage and the historic environment in curriculum-based teaching and learning. The work is intended to help schools embed heritage learning in a meaningful and sustainable way, rather than provide one-off workshops for pupils. Delivery should be supported by suitable local heritage partnerships and Historic England resources. This is a services opportunity covering education and training, training programme delivery and research consultancy. It is relevant to organisations working with schools, teachers, curriculum development, heritage education and local historic-environment partners.

The process reached tender: Historic England invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids may be submitted electronically through the stated supplier portal. Enquiries were due by 12 October 2026 at 17:00, and offers were due by 16 October 2026 at 09:30. The contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 July 2027. The estimated overall value is £25,000 excluding VAT and £30,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Its published value is recorded as 25,000 AED excluding VAT and 30,000 AED including VAT. Evaluation is weighted 70% to quality and 30% to price. The requirement is below the applicable threshold.

This opportunity suits an experienced organisation able to design and deliver structured professional development for teachers and schools. Strong candidates will be able to build teachers’ practical confidence and capability, connect heritage learning with curriculum teaching, and support schools to adopt approaches that are meaningful and sustainable rather than isolated events. Relevant experience may include teacher training, education programme design, heritage education, historic-environment interpretation or work with school networks. The requirement also favours organisations able to develop and maintain appropriate local heritage partnerships and make effective use of Historic England resources. It is particularly relevant to providers with delivery experience across the South West of England and the capacity to manage a focused programme for schools and teaching staff.
