In plain English

Historic England wants a research project that gathers real-world examples of how historic parks, gardens and demesnes across the UK are being affected by climate change and how their managers are responding. The results will be published as a research report with a shorter non-technical summary. The project is worth £30,000 and is jointly funded by Historic England and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

What the buyer wants

• Compile a set of case studies showing how designated historic parks, gardens and demesnes across the UK are experiencing and responding to climate change impacts and risks. • Present the case studies in a report for publication in the Historic England Research Report Series, with an accompanying non-technical summary. • Build on earlier stakeholder research by providing practical, site-specific examples of climate adaptation that protect heritage significance, including examples of both success and failure.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice sets no explicit qualification, experience, insurance or certification requirements, but the work is research and report writing for a national heritage body, so a business without demonstrable research and heritage expertise would likely struggle to compete.

Always check the tender documents.
