Summary of the contracting process

Bromsgrove District Council procured the ReNEW Local Culture Sector Skills and Capacity Development Project. This is a services requirement supporting skills and capacity development across the local cultural sector. The scope covers artistic and creative services, including dance and performance, alongside research and development consultancy. The work is intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. The council is the public-sector buyer. The requirement combines practical cultural-sector activity with consultancy and development support, so it may suit organisations that can deliver creative programmes, performance-related services, sector research, or organisational capacity-building. The procurement covers one combined requirement rather than separate published lots, with the cultural and consultancy elements associated with the same project.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold open competition. The tender closed on 20 March 2026, following an enquiry deadline of 13 February 2026. The single lot was evaluated on 100% quality. Two active awards were made: TRIGGER PRODUCTIONS LTD received an award of £64,000 excluding VAT (£76,800 including VAT), with a contract signed on 30 April 2026 for 30 April 2026 to 31 March 2028; CULTURECENTRAL received an award of £60,000 excluding VAT (£72,000 including VAT), with a contract signed on 26 August 2026 for 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. Both contracts are active. The competition allowed electronic submission.

This award demonstrates that Bromsgrove District Council buys a substantial, quality-led package of cultural-sector development services, using an open competition below the public procurement threshold. A credible future supplier would need to combine strong artistic or performance delivery with the ability to develop skills and organisational capacity in the cultural sector. Relevant capability could include producing or delivering dance and performance activity, providing creative interpretation services, undertaking research and development consultancy, and translating findings into practical support for local cultural organisations. The two awards also show that the requirement can be delivered through complementary specialist providers rather than a single broad-service organisation. Small and medium-sized creative businesses and mission-led cultural organisations may therefore find the buyer and requirement commercially relevant when comparable work returns to market.
