Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council, a public authority functioning at a sub-central government level, has spearheaded a procurement process titled "Meanwhile Uses Arts Strategy." This initiative is focused within the services category, with a particular emphasis on transforming vacant spaces into vibrant cultural hubs across Hemel Hempstead, Tring, and Berkhamsted. The contract, already in the award stage and completed, was officially signed on 24th February 2025, with a duration spanning from 1st April 2025 to 30th September 2025. The primary goal is to boost cultural footfall by utilising arts and creativity, thereby making Hemel a premier destination for arts and culture. The procurement method employed was below threshold and unspecified, with the total contract value amounting to £36,000.

This tender presents an exciting opportunity for businesses specialising in feasibility studies, advisory services, or analysis, particularly those with a focus on cultural and community engagement. Companies that can offer creative solutions to activate disused spaces or those experienced in the development of arts strategies would find this project particularly well-suited to their capabilities. Such undertakings are ideal for SMEs like Things made Public CIC, the awarded supplier, allowing them to leverage their expertise in arts and culture to drive business growth, while also contributing to the revitalisation of community spaces.
