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 pick from the HESPR Bulletin for this week comes from The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) which is seeking bids on a package to undertake a ‘Landscape Character Assessment (LCA) and Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment Training Course (LVIA)’ noting that ‘Natural England only provides bespoke landscape advice for schemes affecting a National Park, AONB or Heritage Coast which we judge to be of such major significance – in terms of their potential adverse impact on their statutory purposes of designation that it warrants our intervention. We are also guided by national policy set out in the National Planning Policy Framework which affords the highest level of policy protection to the ‘landscape and scenic beauty’ of National Parks and AONBs.’ The value of the contract is not stated and it closes on 12 December.
