Tender Description

Introduction
1. Historic England invites organisations to submit tenders for undertaking a data collection for a contingent valuation study focused on Belsay Hall, a historic site based in Northumberland. The target demographic encompasses residents within the Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Northumberland.
2. The primary aim of this study is to quantify the economic and social value attributed by the community to the conservation of heritage sites, with a focus on understanding public perception and willingness to support preservation efforts.
3. Participating organisations are tasked solely with the execution of the survey. The responsibilities exclude the formulation of the questionnaire and the subsequent analysis of collected data, which will be undertaken by Historic England.
4. Historic England will design the questionnaire and then use the data collected to conduct the contingent valuation analysis.
5. The successful bidder will conduct a survey aimed at a representative sample of the aforementioned regions, aiming to capture comprehensive insights into the community's valuation of heritage site preservation.
6. The budget for this project is capped at ?15,000. Proposals will be evaluated based on their ability to deliver within this budget, focusing on the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) criteria.
7. Tenders should be submitted by the 13th of March 2024 by 16:00 with the project expected to end by June 30th, 2024.
8. This initiative seeks to enrich our understanding of the community's valuation of historic preservation
