This is a £2 million annual contract requiring the ability to manage a large, dispersed presenter team across multiple heritage sites simultaneously, deliver 3,000+ sessions per year to consistent quality standards, and demonstrate expertise in educational programme delivery. Most micro-businesses or sole traders lack the operational scale, staffing infrastructure and heritage learning credibility needed to win.
