The tender, valued at £17,000, was executed under an open procurement method and the contract is set to run from August 1, 2019, to December 2, 2019. This evaluation is expected to compile findings from various cohort evaluations and primary research, culminating in a comprehensive assessment of the programme's effectiveness. This tender presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms, particularly those specialising in research and evaluation services within the cultural or arts sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can demonstrate expertise in capacity-building and programme evaluation would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this project could help such firms expand their experience and network within the arts community, potentially leading to future collaborations and contracts. ## Notice In 2016/17 the Arts Council invested PS1.8 million into the Building Resilience programme. This programme builds on the pilot business support programme, Prosper, delivered by Creative United. Building Resilience supported four external organisations/consultancies to lead four cohorts of arts and cultural organisations exploring and piloting different approaches to long term sustainability across four different themes: - diversity and entrepreneurship - international philanthropy - change management - what are you good at - making the most of your intellectual property The key aims of the fund were to increase the resilience of up to 100 cultural organisations and to provide models and case studies that can be shared and used more widely to increase resilience across the sector. The central activities for the programme were to: - provide support to a range of organisations at executive and board level to build their capacity to think and plan effectively to increase their resilience - support organisations to develop and pilot or begin implementation of those plans - evaluate the impact of the programmes, including outcomes for organisations involved, both individually within cohorts and across the programme - disseminate information primarily through evaluation and case studies, that will support the wider sector in understanding and building its resilience. The programme came to a close in May 2019 with each lead organisation producing an individual evaluation of their activity. Arts Council England are commissioning an external evaluation of Building Resilience to assess the programme against its aims, outcomes and successes and develop a longitudinal evaluation framework of the programme. We expect the evaluation to bring together the individual evaluations and some primary research to provide programme-level evidence of Building Resilience's contribution to its aims. We would also like the evaluation to highlight key learnings to inform future investment funds relating to this area of work and review the delivery of the programme by Arts Council, including identifying factors which helped or hindered the programme. We expect this evaluation to be designed and implemented alongside the existing evaluation for Creative United's pilot programme, Prosper. Due to the nature of the programme's continuing impacts, we also require the evaluator to collaboratively develop a longitudinal evaluation framework with the four lead organisations and cohorts. The framework will inform a secondary, long-term impact evaluation of Building Resilience to be implemented at a later date and to provide additional evidence of the impact of the programme ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/59b19caf-2108-4792-ad6e-3c4851cd8ec4 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Jan 2020 | | Submission deadline | 1 Jul 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Jul 2019 | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2019 - 2 Dec 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £17,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £16,664 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE ARTS COUNCIL ENGLAND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC1B 3HF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Bloomsbury | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SQW | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 14 Jan 2020 at 10:40 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/59b19caf-2108-4792-ad6e-3c4851cd8ec4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/59b19caf-2108-4792-ad6e-3c4851cd8ec4 14th January 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.artscouncil.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
