## Summary

The Walsall Council has awarded a contract for a feasibility study to assess the future Museum offer in Walsall. The study, funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, aims to evaluate the suitability of the current Walsall Leather Museum model and propose a new vision for a culturally innovative space. The contract, valued at £500,000, commenced on 19th February 2024 and is scheduled to conclude on 19th May 2024. The procurement was open, welcoming small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to participate.

Businesses in the library, archives, museums, and cultural services sectors are well-suited to compete for this opportunity. Additionally, marketing management consultancy services and business development consultancy firms could leverage their expertise to support the transformation of Walsall's Museum offer. With a contract value of £500,000 and a focus on inclusive and innovative museum projects, this tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses looking to contribute to the cultural regeneration of Walsall.

## Notice

Walsall Council is seeking a high-quality provider to deliver a feasibility study for Walsall's future place-based museum offer, currently delivered through the Walsall Leather Museum model. Walsall Council has received confirmation of funding via the UK Shared Prosperity Fund to undertake this. This will consider if Walsall Leather Museum is fit for the future, and if not: what future Museum would support the wider regeneration of the Borough? where would the future Museum be best located? Capturing the momentum, both local through the Walsall Heritage Strategy (2021-2026) and regionally following the cultural successful Birmingham Commonwealth Games 2022, this is an exciting opportunity to re-imagine Walsall's Museum offer, interrogating the existing model and proposing a fresh vision, ethos, and overall approach for a unique and innovative space in Walsall. Walsall seeks to unlock a progressive, inclusive museum project, leveraging its industrial heritage and progressing through to its diverse creativity today.
