The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, following the tender period that closed on 25 January 2017. The contract is set to begin on 6 February 2017 and will run until 14 February 2021, with a total value of £150,000. Interested parties can deliver services in various locations, including the United Kingdom and other territories. This opportunity represents a significant prospect for businesses in the museum services sector, particularly for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have expertise in accreditation assessments. Given the relatively high contract value and the focus on services specifically catered to museums, firms with a strong background in cultural consultancy or similar fields would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging in this procurement process could enhance market presence and foster growth in the niche of museum consultancy services. ## Notice Assessment of Museums Accreditation Returns Additional information: V2 of attachment 2 uploaded - to clarify details of tender return instructions. We have received 1 query: 1Q) The contract is for a 12 month period, but the Accreditation Panel dates are given for 2017. Should we be factoring capacity to prepare assessments for the February 2018 Accreditation panel meeting (or just up to the November 2016 meeting)? 1A) - It is likely that assessors will need to factor in capacity to prepare assessments for the February 2018 Panel as the contract will likely start towards the end of February 2017 for a period of 12 months and therefore end at the end of Feb 2018. It is likely therefore that a Feb 2018 panel meeting will take place during the contract period. We didn't provide panel dates for February 2018 as these are yet to be confirmed and are usually confirmed towards the end of 2017. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/351fdc44-d3a3-4681-b7fa-689f5dd09136 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Aug 2017 | | Submission deadline | 25 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 28 Feb 2017 | | Contract period | 2 Apr 2017 - 2 Apr 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £150,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE ARTS COUNCIL OF ENGLAND | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B1 2LH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Ladywood | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 3 | | Supplier names | DEBORAH SKINNER; ELAINE SANSOM; TIVERTON MUSEUM OF MID DEVON LIFE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92521000 - Museum services ## Release History - 21 Aug 2017 at 15:36 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/351fdc44-d3a3-4681-b7fa-689f5dd09136 - 16 Jan 2017 at 09:53 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fa46b8ad-b1f3-407a-84bb-a4d6880eed60 - 10 Jan 2017 at 18:38 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fa46b8ad-b1f3-407a-84bb-a4d6880eed60 - 10 Jan 2017 at 18:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fa46b8ad-b1f3-407a-84bb-a4d6880eed60 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/351fdc44-d3a3-4681-b7fa-689f5dd09136 21st August 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fa46b8ad-b1f3-407a-84bb-a4d6880eed60 16th January 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/359be82d-8e2f-47fc-8a15-523bc857c47f - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e507689f-4ba7-401d-abca-90ab8ab92208 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e2870770-9074-4657-a4df-c65420427fdf - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7dba4e9b-e00a-4b6f-9930-a77dd52efe19 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6c580eca-101b-45e4-b2de-422d2ce0ecaf - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/93f7d686-93f8-41aa-9983-a1dff194e126 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/472b1403-3a95-4f08-bcad-4f621721509f - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ecdb4ed1-7c07-4b3a-b622-f572e5efcde9 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/20099f74-3061-49e7-9ced-40430fd5dd81 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/83ebb94c-732e-4066-bc24-68b9be2e9e72 ## Notice URLs - http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
