## Summary

The British Council has recently awarded a contract for the project titled "2024_UK_227 - Cultural Preservation & Digital Innovation Pilot Research". This project focuses on providing insight for digitally focused programming in the Cultural Protection Fund. The procurement stage was an open procedure with a tender period ending on February 23, 2024. The contract period is scheduled to start on March 18, 2024, and end on June 30, 2024. The project falls under the services category and is suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations.

Opportunities for business growth lie in participating in the digital preservation initiative to support partners in the Middle East, North and East Africa. Businesses offering information systems or technology planning services, research services, social research services, or natural resources management strategies would find this tender suitable. The contract was awarded to Studio Fattori, and the British Council is the buying organisation overseeing this initiative.

## Notice

The objective of this desk research and data analysis is to provide insight that will inform digitally focused programming for the British Council's Cultural Protection Fund (CPF) in 2024. Building on seven successful years and PS50m of investment in cultural preservation and taking into account the critical challenge of developing new means to safeguard heritage in a digital era, in 2024 the British Council's CPF will be piloting a digital preservation initiative. The pilot initiative will support partners and projects in the Middle East, North and East Africa exploring novel applications of technology to preserve cultural heritage. This research will lay the foundations for the pilot.
