## Notice

We are seeking a supplier to undertake the Private Investment in Culture Survey (PICS) for the period covering 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18. This survey is the main source of information on how the private sector engages with the wider cultural sector and provides a longitudinal picture of changes in support over time. Conducted by Arts & Business - with ACE funding - until 2011, the survey was subsequently commissioned directly by the Arts Council for the period covering 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15 and delivered in 2016. The objective of this tender is to produce a comparable study for the following three years.
