The procurement, classified under research and development services and related consultancy services (CPV code 73000000), was conducted through an open procedure. The contract value is £45,000 and is set to span from 30th April 2018 to 31st March 2021. The tender process was completed on 4th April 2018, following which the contract was awarded on 17th April 2018. The projects focus on improving the effectiveness and long-term viability of accredited museums across the East Midlands, covering Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, and Rutland. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in museum consultancy, training provision, and heritage services. Companies with expertise in offering tailored advice, grants, or workshops to museums, particularly those familiar with the arts sector, would be well-placed to compete for similar tenders in the future. Collaborations with local institutions and an understanding of the East Midlands' cultural landscape will enhance prospects for businesses aiming to engage in public contracts related to museum development and heritage services. ## Notice The collections advisor would operate within the framework of the Museum Development East Midlands programme which is currently funded through the Arts Council England (ACE) National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) Sector Support Organisation (SSO) funding stream from April 2018 to March 2021 with the possibility of a funding extension to the end of March 2022. MDEM works with 100 accredited museums and those working towards Museum Accreditation. MDEM's target is to support museums to operate more effectively increasing their long term viability and relevance. Support is delivered through direct advice, grants, training provision, facilitated networks, workshops and tailored, intensive activity. It will not work directly to support other regional NPOs (14 museum sites) from April 2018. East Midlands is defined as Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland. MDEM has a series of goals and SMARTs to meet in a funding agreement with ACE which will be signed off in March 2018. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d1078ba8-704c-453b-8294-55bed70ae50a | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Apr 2019 | | Submission deadline | 4 Apr 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 16 Apr 2018 | | Contract period | 29 Apr 2018 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £45,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £45,000 | | 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 | LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE3 8RA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Glenfield Faire | | Westminster constituency | Mid Leicestershire | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ANITA HOLLINSHEAD FREELANCE MUSEUM & HERITAGE SERVICES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 16 Apr 2019 at 13:27 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d1078ba8-704c-453b-8294-55bed70ae50a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d1078ba8-704c-453b-8294-55bed70ae50a 16th April 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=fd1e51f0-942e-e811-80eb-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.leicestershire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
