Description

This is a project about market testing a proposal that could facilitate access to information and insight of relevance to the sector and to interested people outside the sector. It requires the demand for a Heritage Sector Observatory to be identified and assessed, drawing on the views of potential users from a broad spectrum ranging from Historic England staff to overseas academics. The successful tenderers are asked to engage with a wide range of stakeholders in an appropriate way to gauge the demand for an Observatory and to advise Historic England and its Historic Environment Forum (HEF) partners on next steps for further consideration. Access to Historic England and other sector stakeholders will be facilitated. Key considerations for the assessment will be scope, future-proofing and long-term affordability.
