The IHBC’s commercial conservation services listing, HESPR – the Historic Environment Service Providers Recognition scheme – offers weekly HESPR Bulletins with tender opportunities, and the Director’s top pick for IHBC members this week features Barking and Dagenham’s tender opportunity for an audit of and engagement project relating to religious groups and meeting places, with a bid closing date of 22 November, and valued at up to £15,000.
IHBC Chair James Caird said: ‘Our weekly Bulletin of current tender notifications to HESPR members is an innovative service that supports commercial conservation businesses that work to the IHBC’s standards and expectations. These weekly selections offer the wider heritage world a regular insight into the conservation profession that we hope combine good news, sector profile and service inspiration all in one.’
Top tender pick of the week:
The IHBC Director’s top HESPR pick for this week comes from the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham which describes a brief that ‘looks at a specific (but important) component of social infrastructure; religious meeting places. The borough does not have a policy on how to engage with local religious groups and this is the first purpose of this commission. To inform this (and later parts of the brief) the Council also requires an audit of existing religious facilities and religious groups (across the borough), an understanding of future demand for religious facilities and how this is best met. The final part of this commission is to make recommendations for the Council’s Local Plan policy on religious meeting places’
The value of the contract is £15,000 and closing date for bids is 22 November.
