Summary of the contracting process

The Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority issued a tender for a Creative Producer to manage the Creatively Connected project, part of the Tees-Swale: Naturally Connected programme. This tender, classified under Artistic and Literary Creation and Interpretation Services (CPV: 92310000), was managed using a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure. The procurement process included electronic and written submissions and was intended to be completed by 11 March 2024. The contract involved activities across the Upper Teesdale and Upper Swaledale areas, with the Creative Producer expected to operate mainly within the UKE region, particularly Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority's offices and associated sites. The contract was valued at £32,900 and included the management of four artist residencies over two years.

This tender provides significant business opportunities for creative agencies and freelancing individuals specialising in arts project management, particularly those experienced with coordinating community-based artistic programmes. The role requires developing and managing networks between artists, communities, and project stakeholders, making it suitable for organisations with strong collaborative and project oversight skills. The contract's focus on artistic residencies and cultural heritage offers avenues for companies proficient in environmental protection and arts management to showcase their expertise in a multi-faceted project while expanding their credentials within such service domains. Businesses involved in arts, cultural heritage, and environmental sectors could particularly benefit from engaging with this type of publicly funded artistic project.
