The contract, valued at £275,000 GBP, involves research services and has a tender deadline of 20th October 2023. The project is expected to start in November 2023 and conclude by March 2024. This tender opportunity by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport could benefit businesses in the research services sector. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate. The procurement method is an open procedure with a contract period from November 2023 to March 2024. Businesses interested in cultural infrastructure research should consider bidding for this opportunity to contribute to improving government intervention strategies in the sector. ## Notice The aim of this research is to understand the scale of the cultural infrastructure maintenance backlog to assess the potential cost of government intervention, understand why this backlog exists and develop a methodology for assessing the impact of investment into improving cultural infrastructure to make a better and more-informed case for government intervention. The focus is on theatre venues and publicly accessible heritage-based attractions in England. The research is expected to include a combination of surveys based on a representative sample of organisations and in-depth case studies with specific organisations. We expect this project to produce a publishable report to summarise the results of the research alongside a dynamic spreadsheet to cost various potential government intervention scenarios. The evaluation is expected to be awarded and commence in November 2023 and expected to complete by March 2024.
