## Summary

The Derbyshire County Council is actively seeking a Creative Producer for the project titled "ETE7641 C1 - Vital Valley." This initiative, tied to the arts interventions at the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, has an estimated value of £160,000 and falls within the services sector, particularly related to business services and recreational cultural services. The tender period is set to close on 13th April 2018, with the contract commencing on 8th May 2018 and continuing until 31st December 2020. The procurement will follow an open procedure, allowing broad participation. The project will be delivered within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in creative production and community art projects. Businesses equipped with skills in project management, artistic direction, community engagement, or related consulting services would be especially well-suited to compete for this contract. The multi-faceted nature of the arts project over the three years allows for ongoing collaboration and the potential to establish long-term partnerships within the local community.

## Notice

Building on the success of previous arts interventions along and within the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site and the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site Public Art Strategy, we are now seeking to commission a Creative Producer to deliver a multi-faceted arts project to run throughout the three years of the Vital Valley Scheme.
