Supplier Charter
Our supplier charter sets out our commitments and expectations for any supplier that we work with.  This is a binding part of any contract and we carry out annual audit activities to ensure that what is set out here for both parties continues to happen in practice.
Read our Supplier Charter
Routine Cyclical and Planned Maintenance
There is a huge amount of work needed to keep our historic places safe and secure with a lot of routine maintenance tasks done throughout the year. We use a local network of contractors for this work who provide services speedily at competitive prices.
Conservation and Repair
We have a programme of small projects aimed at essential repairs. For these projects we will approach 3-5 suppliers from our existing supplier base OR undertake relevant market engagement to find suitable project partners.
For larger projects (over £250,000) these will be published tenders - openly advertised via our tendering site and promoted through other professional networks e.g. LinkedIn. Outcomes will be evaluated based on a number of considered criteria to include price, quality, sustainability and health & safety.
Other Goods, Services or Works
We will run competitive procurements for any contracts valued at 10k or above. For lower value commodities - this may be a simple 'quick quote' process to achieve best value. As value and complexity increases we will shape competitive procurement to assess both commercial and quality aspects. High value opportunities (over 250k) will be published on our tendering site and promoted through other networks to achieve relevant reach. Suppliers can register to receive relevant updates via our tendering system.

Terms and Conditions
It is our standard policy to contract on supplied English Heritage or alternative specialist terms (e.g. framework OR JCT). These will be supplied as part of the procurement process for information and a signature copy supplied at point of award. If terms are not supplied directly the standard purchase order terms will apply alongside any supplied order confirmation or purchase order.
Sustainability
As we work towards improving and embedding a sustainable approach across all activities – we also have ambitious targets for the strategic suppliers we work with.  We encourage engagement in a sustainable vision and we are working towards 80% of this group having visible climate action and net zero targets by end of 2025.
Sustainability information
Equity, diversity and inclusion
Through our refreshed EDI strategy and actions we intend to better support our members, visitors, employees and others that have a link to our sites and places of work.  Through effective procurement – we may ask suppliers to share ideas for more effectively meeting EDI objectives and keeping this priority at the heart of what we do.
