## Summary

Historic England is procuring a teacher professional development programme for the South East of England. The appointed organisation will design and deliver training 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 local heritage learning in a meaningful and sustainable way, supported by suitable local heritage partnerships and Historic England resources. This is an education and training service, with a research consultancy element, rather than a programme of one-off workshops for pupils. It will suit organisations working across teacher development, heritage education, curriculum support, historic environment engagement or related education consultancy. Historic England, a central government public authority, is the buying organisation.

The procurement reached tender: Historic England invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Questions could be submitted until 12 October 2026 at 17:00, and offers were due by 16 October 2026 at 09:30. Electronic submission was allowed. The single contract is planned to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 July 2027. The estimated value is £25,000 excluding VAT, or £30,000 including VAT. The award basis is 70% quality and 30% price, placing greater emphasis on the proposed service than cost. The opportunity covers one programme for the South East of England and is categorised as services, including education and training, training programme delivery and research consultancy services.

This opportunity suits an experienced organisation able to design and deliver professional development for teachers and schools, rather than provide isolated pupil workshops. Strong bidders are likely to understand how local heritage and the historic environment can support curriculum-based teaching and learning, and how to build teachers’ confidence, capacity and capability to use these resources themselves. The requirement also favours organisations able to support meaningful, sustainable adoption across schools, not just deliver individual training sessions. Useful capability includes developing teacher-focused programmes, working with schools and education professionals, forming or managing local heritage partnerships, and using established heritage resources effectively. Organisations combining education expertise with heritage, historic environment or curriculum knowledge are well placed to compete.
