## Summary

The British Film Institute (BFI) is seeking to evaluate its National Lottery-funded Research & Statistics Fund, targeting a range of research consultancy services. This tender, titled "Evaluation of the Research & Statistics Fund for the BFI," is currently in the Award stage, with the contract awarded on 4 July 2022. The closing date for submissions was 8 June 2022, and the contract will run until 4 November 2022. This procurement was conducted using an open procedure and was valued at £35,000, addressing the need for insights into the impact of the Fund on the UK screen sector ecosystem.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research consultancy and management services, particularly those with experience in evaluating public sector initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-positioned to engage with this tender, given the BFI's commitment to supporting diverse service providers. Companies adept at conducting impact assessments and familiar with the cultural sector may find this project aligns well with their expertise, thus fostering potential growth and collaboration within the creative industries.

## Notice

The British Film Institute (the "BFI") has a dedicated National Lottery-funded Research & Statistics Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund has been operational since 2015 and has an external advisory group that meets three times a year to advise on data purchases and research priorities. A number of ground-breaking studies have been commissioned through the Fund over the past seven years, including: Workforce Diversity Evidence Review; Screen Business (2018 and 2021 editions); A Screen New Deal, Horizon Scan (title TBC); Film in the Wider World (not yet published); and The Impacts of Leaving the EU on the UK's Screen Sector. Other notable outputs include the annual BFI Statistical Yearbook and Official Statistics releases and its well-received 'Insight Exchange' events. There is also an enquiry service whereby data purchased through the Fund is used to respond to queries and data requests from industry, the international screen sector, the press, academics, students and the public. The BFI wishes to commission an evaluation which will assess the overall impacts of the Research & Statistics Fund, including how it contributes and adds value to the UK screen sector ecosystem. The evaluation should also examine whether the current aims, objectives and primary delivery methods of the Fund are still fit for purpose. We would like to understand whether our funding is being targeted in the right areas, whether we need to broaden our scope and where we should focus our investment in the future. The approach should cover both impact and process evaluation. Full details are set out in the ITT. The closing date for this tender is 12:00 noon on 8 June 2022.
