## Summary

The Arts Council England is currently conducting a tender process for the evaluation of the Great Places Scheme, which falls under the recreational, cultural, and sporting services industry category. The tender was published on 7th April 2017 and is actively seeking proposals until the deadline of 28th April 2017. The total contract value is capped at £100,000, and the contract period is set to commence from 1st June 2017 and will extend until 30th April 2021. Bidders are required to submit their proposals via the Bravo Solutions e-tendering platform.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms, particularly those specializing in evaluation services and cultural project assessments. Companies that can demonstrate experience in effectively analysing and optimising cultural investments, as well as those with a strong understanding of community engagement, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The evaluation is crucial to maximising the impact of the investment made in cultural initiatives, which can potentially enhance job creation and community development, thus, opening doors for businesses engaged in these sectors.

## Notice

Arts Council England and the Heritage Lottery Fund are seeking a programme evaluation of the Great Place Scheme. The Great Place Scheme - one of the flagship measures from the Government's recently published Culture White Paper - will pilot new approaches that enable cultural, community and civic organisations to work more closely together. The aim is twofold: to ensure that the considerable investment in culture made by organisations like HLF and ACE has the maximum positive impact on jobs, economic performance, educational attainment, community cohesion and health and wellbeing; and to persuade civic organisations and local businesses to invest in and put culture at the heart of their thinking. Additional information: Documents are available via the Bravo Solutions e-tendering platform. URL given below. All bids must be submitted through this portal. Maximum contract value excludes VAT. The maximum contract value including VAT must not exceed PS100,000
