Description
Heritage Masterplan - Bid Writer
Thetford Town Council
Up to £20,000 (incl expenses and VAT if applicable)
Contract
Start Date: Dec 24/Jan 25
Thetford Town Council (TTC) is a Town Council on the edge of Norfolk with ambitious plans to utilise and improve its heritage within Thetford.
In November 2022 TTC received funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) to undertake a study of possible heritage projects in Thetford. This piece of work was completed in Feb 24 and identified possible projects for inclusion in a formal bid for funding from NLHF. Copies of this document can be requested from the contact set out below. Following on from this work, the Council has decided to focus the next stage of its development of a Heritage Masterpan on St Peters Church, Kings House (owned by the G.W. Staniforth Charity. TTC is the sole Trustee.), Charles Burrell Museum and the Ancient Museum (the latter two organisations are separate entities to TTC).
We are looking for a consultant with significant demonstrable experience in securing NLHF delivery funding and match funding for major projects. You will have a sound understanding of the NLHF investment principles and application process for projects over £1m, experience of working with a wide range of partners and funders and have the capacity and flexibility to commence the assignment in January 2025.
This is an exciting opportunity to develop an NLHF bid for an innovative heritage project to engage local, regional, and national audiences with a Heritage Masterplan for Thetford. The plan focuses on several important heritage sites including TTC which is looking to award a contract for an appropriately experienced Bid Writer for its NLHF grant application. This grant is for a significant Heritage project linked to properties owned by TTC as well as those owned by third parties, together with match funding applications as required for the project's delivery costs.
Applications should be sent to: townclerk@thetfordtowncouncil.gov.uk. CVs are not accepted as applications.
Tenders should take the form of a short written proposal (max 10 sides of A4) setting out:
• Your interest in undertaking this assignment.
