The contract period is scheduled to run from 6th February 2023 to 1st September 2023. The buying organisation, Hertsmere Borough Council, situated in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, aims to develop a clear creative strategy to maximise local community benefits from significant investments in the creative sector. This tender by Hertsmere Borough Council presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly SMEs, to contribute to the development of a Creative Strategy. Businesses with expertise in research and development services and consultancy within the creative and cultural sectors would be well-suited to compete. The involvement of local heritage and cultural understanding is crucial for the successful implementation of the strategy. Potential bidders should consider providing outputs in various formats such as PDF, Word, and slide decks, and include background documents for community consultation. ## Notice This is an exciting time for Hertsmere. With a heritage of film and television production dating back to the early 20th century and growing opportunities across the film, television and creative sectors, 2022 will see the opening of Sky Studios, the new sound stages at the Council owned Elstree Studios and the launch of the Hertsmere Creative Fund, which will see ?100k pa released to support creativity within the wider community. Looking forward, Sky have recently submitted a planning application for a significant extension to their original site which will also include a community space and the Sky Academy. More widely, of the 16 new studio developments in London and its immediate hinterland being planned or built at the time of writing, six are in Hertfordshire and 2 in Hertsmere.
