## Summary

The Arts Council England is conducting a procurement process for a project titled "Dynamic collections curation and management." This project falls under the research and development services category, specifically within the museum sector. The contract, awarded to BOP Consulting, has a value of £37,062.50.

The services are open to suppliers from the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in research, consultancy, and services related to the arts and heritage sectors.

## Notice

Arts Council England (ACE) and the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) are working in partnership to seek a supplier, or suppliers, to undertake research related to dynamic collections curation and management within the museum sector. The overarching objective of this research is to better understand how the museum sector can be supported to address the Mendoza Review's recommendations in this area more effectively. Specifically, this research will explore what support already exists and its effectiveness and inform thinking around the types of interventions that may extend or strengthen approaches, whether through changing current programmes or developing new ones. It is anticipated that this will be undertaken through a review of existing research or evidence outlining previous activity and impact, including projects or programmes funded by ACE, HLF and other relevant sector bodies.
