This project aims to review BMT's Governance, Business Model, and Fundraising to create a democratic museum. The tender invites consultants to plan, design, manage the project, work with an Oversight Group, and facilitate sessions. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a value of GBP 50,000. The tender deadline is March 1, 2024, with a contract period from April 5, 2024, to February 28, 2025, in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. This tender from BMT offers opportunities for consultants who can bring innovative ideas and collaborate to support the vision of a democratic museum. Businesses with a strong understanding of Birmingham and its diverse community would be well-suited for this project. The tender is suitable for SMEs and seeks consultants who can creatively respond to the project's vision, celebrating the city's diversity and bringing forth transformative solutions. ## Notice BMT is currently commissioning a team of experts to review its Governance, Business Model and Fundraising, with a view to recommending new approaches to create a radically democratic museum and the structures, skills and capacities to deliver them and the Citizen's Jury is integral to this work. We are looking to have representatives from all sections of society involved in a single conversation about what Birmingham means to them and what roles the museum could play in enhancing the life of the city. We wish to delve deeper than what is currently possible in focus groups, advisory panels or surveys, and host at least 30 hours of facilitated conversations with at least 25 representatives. We are looking for consultants to: * Carry out the required planning, design, liaison and project management. * Work with us to set up the Oversight Group and facilitate Oversight Group meetings. * Work with the Oversight Group to identify key expert witnesses and source other expert witnesses to address topics raised by the participants. * Planning and facilitation of CJ sessions with participants. * Management of participants including vouchers, onboarding and childcare. * Facilitate launch and public closing event. * Commission a documentary film of the event. * Submit final report. What we're looking for: The collective team will bring to the table big ideas and ambition that creatively respond to the vision, unafraid to challenge accepted norms, collaborating to support the client in further refining their vision and objectives, rooted in community needs. The team should have a strong sense of Birmingham and its unique characteristics and super-diversity. You will need to have a deep understanding of this area of work, but you do not necessarily need to be a bricks and mortar consultancy firm. We welcome responses from individuals, companies, or collaborations. Ultimately, we do not mind who you are (although if you are not based in the city, we hope that you would see the benefit of spending ample time here to get under the skin of its residents). Our teams are diverse, as is our city, and your work will recognise, celebrate, and respond to this. If you consider yourself suitable for certain parts of the brief but not the whole, we would still like to hear from you as we are looking to create the right team who can bring something to the table, which may involve a certain amount of matchmaking with those who have different skill sets. We want you to understand our passion for change, appreciate the exploratory nature of this work, and be robust and brave with your assertions. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4612cc2-30d9-46f5-97f8-dbdf4a230077 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | 1 Mar 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Apr 2024 - 28 Feb 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 | FOCUS CONSULTANTS 2010 LLP | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG8 6AS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF16 South Nottinghamshire | | Local authority | Broxtowe | | Electoral ward | Nuthall East & Strelley | | Westminster constituency | Nottingham North and Kimberley | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 30 Jan 2024 at 15:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4612cc2-30d9-46f5-97f8-dbdf4a230077 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4612cc2-30d9-46f5-97f8-dbdf4a230077 30th January 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b08c8439-aae6-42dd-94e3-3e41c27d2101 Brief - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/948fbcbe-440a-4231-8b09-2b0ee9c67ec1 ITT ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
