## Summary

The Arts Council England has completed a procurement process titled "Framework Agreement for Security Consultants in support of the GIS." This initiative falls under the services industry category, specifically in investigation and security services, with a total contract value of £220,833. The contract began on 2nd January 2018 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2019. The open procurement method was adopted for this tender, which was previously open until 13th November 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand in the security consultancy sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).
