## Summary

The Arts Council England has recently awarded a contract titled "Economic contribution of the Arts and Culture to the National Economy". This procurement was conducted as an open procedure, aimed at acquiring research services classified under CPV 73200000 (Research and development consultancy services). The contract is located in London, England, and was awarded on the 1st of August 2018, following a tender period that concluded on the 29th of June 2018. The contract is valued at £35,000 and is set to run from the 16th of July 2018 until the 7th of September 2018.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The focus on analysing the economic impact of the arts and culture sector offers potential for growth for firms with expertise in economic analysis, research methodologies, and the creative industries. Companies interested in partnering with public sector organisations for similar projects should note the importance of offering insights that contribute to enhancing the understanding of the cultural sector's economic role.

## Notice

We have appointed a supplier to undertake research to help demonstrate and articulate the economic contribution of the arts and culture sector to the national economy. This will provide an updated picture of the sector's contribution to the economy, following on from three previous studies conducted by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR), the most recent of which was published in November 2017. This was first commissioned in 2012 as part of a suite of research aiming to further develop our understanding of how the arts, museums and libraries sectors contribute to the economy, in order to support the sector to continue to improve their contribution to the nation's economic prosperity. It was also important to consider how this contribution could be appropriately evidenced.
