This contract, valued between £30 million and £40 million, will commence from 1st April 2019 and extend until 31st March 2044. The procurement is classified under the arts-facility operation services category, and the tender process follows an open procedure, with the submission deadline set for 28th December 2018. The service locations are centered in Worthing, West Sussex (postal code BN11 1HA), within the South East region of the United Kingdom. This tender provides significant growth opportunities for organisations specialising in arts and cultural management, facilities management, or related services. Businesses with a proven track record in artistic vision, management of performance venues, and cultural stewardship would be particularly well-suited to compete. By partnering with the Council, successful bidders will not only contribute to the cultural vibrancy of Worthing but also benefit from long-term engagement in a region committed to enhancing its local economy through the arts. ## Notice Worthing Borough Council is inviting suitably qualified and experienced organisations to tender for the contract to manage Worthing Theatres and Worthing Museum; jointly referred to as Worthing's Cultural Services. Worthing Theatres are made up of four well managed, supported and maintained performance/cinema venues including Connaught Theatre and Studio, Assembly Hall and Pavillion Theatre. Situated in the town centre Worthing Museum is a vibrant heritage offer including custodianship of collections of national importance. The contract will be formed of leasehold and management contracts, thereby transferring the business of the council's Cultural Services and all its activities to an external party. The council is seeking to negotiate a long-term commitment with a suitable partner and is look for an experienced company, organisation or trust that combines prudent business planning as well as artistic vision and innovation. It is imperative that Worthing's Cultural Services continue to develop and thrive for the benefit of our local economy and will play a vital, front-facing, role in Worthing's future.
