GB-Manchester: ACE 627 ITT Private Investment in Culture 2025
Notice Description
After a period of significant change and challenge to sector income levels, across both public and private funding, Arts Council England is seeking a research partner to measure the current levels of investment, beyond that provided through public funding (ie: contributed, earned and any other investment income) in the creative and cultural sector in England. The period under investigation is the three years from 2022-2025, that is the financial years: 2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24 alongside an investigation into current practices in generating income beyond the public sector.

However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
