## Summary

The procurement process involves the Arts Council England, which is based in London, that has recently commissioned a project titled "GB-London: Burns Owens Partnership Ltd." This initiative falls under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services, with a contract value of £23,045. The procurement stage reached completion with the award issued on 11th June 2021, and the associated contract period runs from 14th June 2021 to 1st September 2021. The project aims to produce an advocacy film that highlights the essential role of public libraries in community recovery, particularly in the context of challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in film production and consultancy services, especially those with experience in advocacy and community-focused projects. Companies engaged in media production, particularly those familiar with community engagement and educational content, would be well-suited to compete in this space. Social enterprises and organisations that drive digital inclusion, cultural partnerships, and educational outcomes are also encouraged to participate, as they align well with the objectives outlined in the procurement process.

## Notice

Research and development services and related consultancy services. Many library services are facing an unprecedented financial challenge in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Although it has been widely acknowledged that library services have played a huge part in supporting their communities throughout the pandemic, there is a danger that the successes of digital library provision are perceived by decision makers as an opportunity to reduce the physical library offer and ease some of the financial pressures local authorities will be facing. Public libraries have the potential to play a key role in the recovery and renewal of our communities. They deliver tangible benefits to the local economy, educational outcomes and the health and well being of all in our communities and especially the most vulnerable. The libraries team wish to commission an advocacy film to illustrate that a robust and appropriately invested library service is vital to community recovery and to support library Heads of Service's conversations with decision makers within local authorities. The film will demonstrate that libraries promote access to reading, training, digital skills, trusted information and cultural experiences to people at every stage of their lives. Libraries Connected have identified five key areas where libraries can play a central role in meeting the needs of individuals and communities who may be struggling to overcome the effects of the Covid-19 crisis. These are: *Economic recovery with help and training for job seekers and entrepreneurs, making links between how libraries can support high street renewal by driving footfall and forming part of an experiential offer in addition to retail. *Education support for children and SEND students who struggled to learn at home *Isolation mitigation for vulnerable groups and to help people to reconnect locally *Digital inclusion for residents who lack IT skills or have no access to the Internet *Cultural partnership to help local artists and arts organisations to continue their work.
