    Brief

    Historic England is seeking a supplier to deliver Phase 4 of the 'Knowing the Heritage Sector' programme. The project will create an initial catalogue of heritage enterprises across England, standardized using consistent data structures and formats. The supplier will compile data from multiple sources using web-scraping, machine learning, and manual review to ensure accuracy and comprehensive coverage. The deliverables include: (1) a minimum viable product (MVP) catalogue of heritage enterprises with standardized data, and (2) three static dashboard design concepts showing how the data could be presented to users. This catalogue will serve as the foundation for a future market intelligence service, enabling heritage sector organizations to make better decisions, collaborate more effectively, and drive innovation across the industry.
