## Summary

The Norfolk County Council recently completed the procurement process for the 'Norfolk Way Art Trail' project, aimed at extending the tourist season by implementing works of art across the county. The project, valued at £283,350 GBP, was procured through a competitive quotation (below threshold) method with a tender period ending on 13th December 2021. The contract period commenced on 28th January 2022 and ended on 30th March 2023, creating opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs in the artistic and literary creation services category within the East of England region.

This public procurement opportunity by Norfolk County Council for the art project opens doors for businesses, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, to participate in delivering experiential tourism services. Companies providing artistic and literary creation services, with a focus on personalised and local tourism experiences, are well-suited to compete. The contracting process, in the award stage, has already resulted in contracts being awarded to businesses like Matherea Ltd, Toy Studio, Studio Sabine Marcelis, and Matthew Wregglesworth (t/a Studio Squash), indicating a potential for growth and collaboration in the art industry.

## Notice

EXPERIENCE is a project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund through the Interreg France (Channel) England Programme. Experience is about experiential tourism to extend the visitor season and aims to capitalise on the emerging global trend for personalised and local tourism experiences which increasingly provide all-important reasons to visit. Experiences will be designed to appeal to visitors between October and March. This will extend the tourist season and bring in money to the local economy. In order to provide appeal to visit Norfolk in the Autumn and Winter months, the EXPERIENCE project commissioned works of art to be placed in strategic locations around the county. A total of 4 contracts were let under this quotation exercise. A notice was published on Contracts Finder advertising this opportunity but it has not been possible to link the advert.
