## Summary

Cornwall Council is the contracting authority for the ERDF Welcome Back Fund - Cultural Events Programme, aimed at delivering a vibrant arts and cultural programme across Cornwall to support local businesses and community cohesion. The tender process is currently complete, following an open procurement method, with a total contract value of £175,000. The procurement period saw its tender submissions open until 2nd November 2021, with the contract period commencing on 15th November 2021 and running until 31st March 2022. The programme's focus encapsulates recreational, cultural, and sporting services, contributing to a thriving, sustainable environment by encouraging footfall in less-visited towns in England.

This opportunity presents a significant growth avenue for businesses in the arts, culture, and event management sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, as the council aims to support organisations that can create engaging experiences and safely facilitate community gatherings post-pandemic. Businesses that can manage and coordinate diverse cultural events in a way that fosters local engagement will likely find this tender appealing. Interested parties are encouraged to explore this opportunity to contribute to Cornwall’s vibrant community recovery efforts.
