This procurement process falls under research and consultancy services within the cultural sector, specifically aimed at enhancing the resilience of arts organisations across the United Kingdom. The tender is currently in the active stage, with submissions due by 28 June 2019, and the contract period expected to commence on 15 July 2019 and conclude by 15 November 2019. This tender opportunity is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in programme evaluation and resilience building within the cultural sector. By participating in this tender, businesses can contribute to the evaluation of a significant initiative that aims to provide evidence-based insights and long-term strategies for arts organisations, thereby fostering a more sustainable ecosystem for the arts and culture industry in the UK. ## Notice In 2016/17 the Arts Council invested PS1.8 million into the Building Resilience programme. This programme builds on the pilot business support programme, Prosper, delivered by Creative United. Building Resilience supported four external organisations/consultancies to lead four cohorts of arts and cultural organisations exploring and piloting different approaches to long term sustainability across four different themes: - diversity and entrepreneurship - international philanthropy - change management - what are you good at - making the most of your intellectual property The key aims of the fund were to increase the resilience of up to 100 cultural organisations and to provide models and case studies that can be shared and used more widely to increase resilience across the sector. The central activities for the programme were to: - provide support to a range of organisations at executive and board level to build their capacity to think and plan effectively to increase their resilience - support organisations to develop and pilot or begin implementation of those plans - evaluate the impact of the programmes, including outcomes for organisations involved, both individually within cohorts and across the programme - disseminate information primarily through evaluation and case studies, that will support the wider sector in understanding and building its resilience. The programme came to a close in May 2019 with each lead organisation producing an individual evaluation of their activity. Arts Council England are commissioning an external evaluation of Building Resilience to assess the programme against its aims, outcomes and successes and develop a longitudinal evaluation framework of the programme. We expect the evaluation to bring together the individual evaluations and some primary research to provide programme-level evidence of Building Resilience's contribution to its aims. We would also like the evaluation to highlight key learnings to inform future investment funds relating to this area of work and review the delivery of the programme by Arts Council, including identifying factors which helped or hindered the programme. We expect this evaluation to be designed and implemented alongside the existing evaluation for Creative United's pilot programme, Prosper. Due to the nature of the programme's continuing impacts, we also require the evaluator to collaboratively develop a longitudinal evaluation framework with the four lead organisations and cohorts. The framework will inform a secondary, long-term impact evaluation of Building Resilience to be implemented at a later date and to provide additional evidence of the impact of the programme. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/05f14058-11c6-44d7-b46b-d0467b99bfdd | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | 28 Jun 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Jul 2019 - 15 Nov 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £16,667 | | 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 | THE ARTS COUNCIL ENGLAND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC1B 3HF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Bloomsbury | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 10 Jun 2019 at 10:39 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/05f14058-11c6-44d7-b46b-d0467b99bfdd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/05f14058-11c6-44d7-b46b-d0467b99bfdd 10th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://public.bravosolution.co.uk/artscouncil/web/login.html Link to eSourcing Portal ## Notice URLs - https://www.artscouncil.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
