This procurement opportunity falls under the research consultancy services category and is funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. The tender is currently active and has a deadline for submissions on 13th December 2022. The contract period for the consultancy services is scheduled to run from 9th January 2023 to 30th May 2023. This tender presents an opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in business development and economic research services to contribute to the cultural and creative sector in Hull. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited for this tender opportunity. Interested businesses should consider how they can leverage their expertise to help shape the cultural and digital landscape of Kingston Upon Hull in alignment with the Government's cultural and economic agendas. ## Notice Following the announcement of Kingston Upon Hull being awarded UK City of Culture 2017 (CoC 2017), there has been significant public and private sector investment in the arts, cultural and economic assets of the city. Subsequently, the delivery of CoC 2017 and the current focus on maximizing the City of Culture 'legacy' has created a changed arts and cultural landscape. This has happened alongside a national momentum to ensure the arts and cultural sector can contribute to the economic, health and social wellbeing localities as part of a wider 'place' agenda over a longer timescale. Emerging aspirations for the cultural and digital agendas from the Government are also beginning to introduce further impact on this landscape. The Matrix has secured capital funding from the Levelling Up Fund to deliver a range of facilities to enable an increase in jobs & job security, cultural facilities, and volunteering opportunities within the Cultural and Creative Sector. The Matrix will be a multi-use facility primarily to foster creativity, learning and business skills, providing a base and support center for the Creative Industries and others. Facilities within the Matrix will be flexible and changeable allowing a breadth of use. Hull City Council is seeking to procure consultancy services from a suitably qualified and experienced consultant to inform the Matrix operation. The successful consultant will need to compile an extensively evidenced report after consulting with local companies and using experience of successful projects across the UK. This consultancy commission is to be funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, and reporting should align with the fund's requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7ed7c754-7e0d-432f-b144-84c26257ec22 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 13 Dec 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 Jan 2023 - 30 May 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £35,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HULL CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | HULL | | Post town | Hull | | Postcode | HU1 2AA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE1 East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire | | ITL 3 | TLE11 Kingston upon Hull, City of | | Local authority | Kingston upon Hull, City of | | Electoral ward | St Andrew's & Docklands | | Westminster constituency | Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 73210000 - Research consultancy services - 79311400 - Economic research services - 79311410 - Economic impact assessment - 79411100 - Business development consultancy services - 92500000 - Library, archives, museums and other cultural services ## Release History - 24 Nov 2022 at 19:07 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7ed7c754-7e0d-432f-b144-84c26257ec22 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7ed7c754-7e0d-432f-b144-84c26257ec22 24th November 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=56423&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/104102 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.hull.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
