Summary of the contracting process

The Arts Council England is initiating a tender for the evaluation of its Supporting Grassroots Live Music programme, titled "GB-London: Evaluation of Arts Council England's Supporting Grassroots Live Music programme." This procurement falls under the services category and is classified as a research consultancy service. The tender is at the planning stage, with the submission deadline set for 4 February 2022. The contract period is expected to commence from 28 February 2022 and run until 31 July 2022. The estimated value of the contract is between £25,000 and £50,000, and it aims to promote opportunities primarily for small to medium enterprises (SMEs).

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in research and consultancy, particularly those with experience in evaluating arts and cultural programmes. Companies that focus on grassroots music and have a background in assessing the impact of funding initiatives would be well-suited to participate in this tender. Engaging in this process could not only enhance their portfolios but also open doors to future contracts with the Arts Council and similar organisations, especially as they seek to sustain support for music venues and events beyond the current funding framework.

Notice Title

GB-London: Evaluation of Arts Council England's Supporting Grassroots Live Music programme

Notice Description

NOTE: This notice was updated on 12 January 2022 for the following reason: Tender deadline extended until 04/02/22(Supporting Grassroots Live Music (SGLM) is a strand of National Lottery Project Grants (NLPG), Arts Council England's open-access programme for arts, museums and libraries projects. The SGLM strand has a budget of PS1.5m per year ring-fenced for organisations and individuals whose work focuses on the hosting and promotion of live music events in venues. Arts Council England are seeking an independent evaluator to conduct a process and impact evaluation of the SGLM programme. The evaluation will provide insight and evidence of the impact of SGLM on grassroots music venues and promotors since 2019 and help inform and shape our continued to support to this sector once the ring-fenced funding finishes (currently scheduled for March 2022 but with a possible extension to March 2023 TBC). It should also provide wider learning for the Arts Council around how time limited financial interventions such as this one can be successfully delivered. The aims of the evaluation are therefore three-fold: a)To look back at funding to date to evaluate and understand how effective the programme has been in meeting its original aims and outcomes (as outlined below), and whether it has had the intended impact; b)To look forward, informing how the Arts Council might continue to support grassroots music venues and promoters beyond the life of this ring-fenced fund; c)To identify any learning that can be derived from this time-limited intervention that could inform the Arts Council's work with other sectors.) Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
