## Summary

The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (LBBD) has completed the procurement process for the development of the Galleon Arts Centre, a vital cultural infrastructure project. The contract, valued at £39,823, has been awarded to Creative Barking and Dagenham Limited. This initiative is part of LBBD's efforts to revitalize the local cultural landscape, particularly in areas designated as Priority Places by Arts Council England due to historically low investment in the arts. The project, falling under the industry category of project and design preparation and project management, will be located in London, England, with the contract period running from 30th January 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses involved in cultural and creative industries, project management, and administrative development. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, given the open procedure and the project's community-focused goals. The development of the Galleon Arts Centre will create a sustainable space that supports local cultural activities and provides resources for creative practitioners, fostering a vibrant arts community in Barking and Dagenham.

## Notice

The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (LBBD) is one of five Priority Places in London, as designated by Arts Council England (ACE). Priority Places are areas where investment and engagement in the arts have historically been low, yet significant opportunities exist for impactful cultural development. This project seeks to strengthen Barking and Dagenham's cultural infrastructure by establishing a new arts centre - Galleon Arts Centre - to aid the borough's cultural development and support creative practitioners. Following the closure of the arts centre under previous ownership in 2023, the Arts Council and Barking and Dagenham Council have supported the continuation of a core cultural programme. The next phase of development will build on this to fully re-activate the centre as a vibrant, financially sustainable space that supports access to cultural activities for local people and acts as a resource for the creative and artistic community in the borough. The Council has procured and awarded the contract to a supplier who meet the council's requirements
