## Summary

The Arts Council England is inviting tenders for a project titled "Cultural Education in Outstanding Schools" focusing on the research services industry. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, having been published on 13 February 2019, with a submission deadline set for 4 March 2019. The total budget for this contract is £30,000, and the services will primarily be delivered across the United Kingdom. The research aims to explore the cultural education offerings in schools rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted, identifying a diverse set of schools to create insightful case studies.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for research agencies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in a project that informs educational improvements. Businesses that specialise in qualitative research, education consultancy, or have experience in the cultural sector will find this procurement particularly relevant. Successful participation in this project could enhance a company's reputation within the educational field and assist in paving the way for further contracts in the public sector.

## Notice

We would like to commission an external research agency to undertake qualitative research into the cultural education offer of schools rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted. We would like to identify approx. 20 schools across the country including a mix of primary/secondary, LA maintained and academies, mainstream and SEND schools to create case studies that can help us understand the role of cultural education in an Outstanding school. We are interested in the role of Heads, senior leaders and governors, strategic alignment with School improvement planning, various approaches to curriculum design and impact measurement, pupil and parental engagement. This research will enable Arts Council to understand the value and impact of cultural education and also allow us to better understand how we can support schools across the country to deliver a high-quality cultural education to all pupils.
