Members of the IHBC’s commercial conservation services listing, HESPR – the Historic Environment Service Providers Recognition scheme – now receive weekly bulletins listing conservation-related tender notices, and to highlight the range and scale of their interests to our membership, we will now feature a ‘top pick’ each week on our NewsBlogs.
IHBC Chair James Caird said: ‘This is a hugely important and innovative service that should be of interest to all members. It offers the conservation world a select weekly listing combining ‘good news’ and ‘sector opportunities’, all in one.’
‘And do please also let us know of any work opportunities you are involved with. Not only will we post them to our HESPR members, fast and for free, but they may also feature on our NewsBlogs, giving that work even more substantial profile in the sector.’
‘We do know also that some notices have a very short time scale, which is unavoidable, so the sooner you let us know the better. And remember too, while some of these works may not be for you, being aware of them can only help everyone understand better the conservation sector in all its diversity.’
‘So if you do know of any tender opportunities please email any details or links to Joanna at contact@ihbc.org’.
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘We’ve been doing this data gathering and notification for more than three years now, managed by our trading arm IHBC Enterprises, exploring how best to classify and catalogue the data both for retrieval and in light of costs. We are now able to offer these regular ‘top picks’ more widely as a membership and sector benefit’.
‘Linked to our NewsBlogs, this will both raise awareness of the important resources our HESPR conservation services listing offer, as well as highlight the very active sector that our multi-disciplinary membership engages with on a weekly, and even daily, basis.’
IHBC Director’s pick for this week, The Wordsworth Trust writes:
‘The Wordsworth Trust, which has been celebrating the life and Poetry of William Wordsworth since 1891, is now developing ambitious plans to make it possible for even more people to discover one of greatest poets. The Trust is looking for an Architect and Multi-Disciplinary Team who will demonstrate an understanding of the special nature of this project, and has significant experience working on heritage properties. In addition, the Wordsworth Trust is seeking to appoint an Interpretation Planner and Interpretation Designer. It is important to note that ‘Interpretation Designer’ has been used, as interpretation is required covering both the interior and external site environment, including woodland trails. The closing date is 12 October 2016.
Tenders can also be advertised for up to 6 weeks together with a targeted email to 1600 recipients and full coverage on our social platforms for a fee on IHBC Jobs etc
For a free promotion of your tender opportunities and needs to IHBC HESPR members please send details and links to Joanna at contact@ihbc.org.uk, as early as possible.
