Through the study we hope to produce new data as it will consider questions about the overall impact of the programme for the first time. This element is less about reappraising existing evaluation and more about understanding the overall arc of change, generating learnings and insights. The main aims of the impact study are to support the following outcomes: 1.Communications and advocacy: ACE and JB are frequently asked by national and international colleagues about the impact of the programme. Neither party has the assets to do this justice. 2. Partnerships and positioning: There is increasing demand to understand and replicate the programme from international, and UK-based arts funding agencies - this offers ACE and JB the opportunity to be positioned as leaders in the field. 3. Driving the mission: Evaluating and explaining the programme's model in an easily communicable format and making the case for policy intervention and cultural action on climate at scale. 4. Reflection and learning: Underpinning the other three outcomes is the desire to provide a clear-sighted and objective reflection of the Environmental Programme, and its key points of learning Full details are available in the tender documents. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a60d57e3-d563-4cf5-8d4b-d7b426bf7bd0 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 May 2024 | | Submission deadline | 26 Jun 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Aug 2024 - 20 Dec 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ARTS COUNCIL ENGLAND | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M1 1FN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Piccadilly | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 24 May 2024 at 14:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a60d57e3-d563-4cf5-8d4b-d7b426bf7bd0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a60d57e3-d563-4cf5-8d4b-d7b426bf7bd0 24th May 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Manchester:-ACE-595-ITT---Longitudinal-Impact-Study-of-Art-Council-England's-Environmental-Programme/X5XN4B5W65 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
