## Summary

The Arts Council England is currently conducting a tender for an "Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Review," which is classified under equal opportunities consultancy services. The tender, published on 1st August 2022, aims to find a supplier to assess its policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the Public Sector Equality Duty. This procurement process is in the active tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 9th September 2022. The contract period is anticipated to commence on 10th October 2022 and conclude by 31st March 2023, with a project value ranging from £50,000 to £100,000. The location of the project is in Manchester, UK, and the procurement method is an open procedure, allowing a broad range of suppliers to participate.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in equal opportunities and human resources management consultancy. Companies that specialize in diversity and inclusion assessments or have experience in public sector consultancy would be well-placed to compete. Engaging in this process could not only enhance their portfolios but also foster growth through collaboration with a prominent organisation such as Arts Council England.

Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs).
