This open tender is set to conclude on 1st December 2020, with a contract period commencing on 18th December 2020 and continuing until 25th March 2021. The assessment aims to analyse the operational dynamics and locations of these music spaces, with a total budget allocation of £50,000, where £25,000 is indicated as the minimum value for the services provided. This opportunity presents significant potential for market research firms and consultancies specialising in the cultural and music sectors. Companies that can effectively map the locations and assess the activities of recording and rehearsal studios, especially those familiar with post-COVID impacts on the music industry, would be well-positioned to compete. Furthermore, businesses with experience in gathering and analysing qualitative and quantitative data regarding industry trends and market needs will find this tender particularly relevant for growth and development in a recovering market. ## Notice Research services. DCMS ('the Authority') is seeking to appoint a Supplier to undertake a market assessment of Recording Studios, Production Rooms, and Rehearsal Studios in England. In particular, we would like the Supplier to: - identify and record existing locations of recording studios, production rooms and rehearsal studios in England; - provide an assessment of the operational activity of these spaces: number of users, capacity, activities, financial viability pre and post-covid; - identify and record the numbers and locations of spaces that have opened in the last ten years; - identify and record the numbers and locations of spaces that have closed in the last ten years and the reasons for closure; - establish whether there has been a decline of recording studios, production rooms and rehearsal studios; - understand the impact music spaces have on the music industry and wider community: - - this may be aided by a comparison of existing locations of recording studios, production rooms and rehearsal studios with the current number of grassroots music venues, to understand the links between supply of talent from music creating spaces to performance spaces. But the Supplier should explore and suggest alternative questions/areas of impact to consider; and - investigate whether there is a market failure, i.e. where there is greater demand than supply of spaces (new spaces are not being set up or prices are not rising in response to demand). Evidence should be collected to substantiate this, for example information that spaces are oversubscribed or that musicians cannot find studio space, as well as evidence from industry on the reasons spaces are not being established. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb68a6d5-f777-4e14-ad66-5163f4014271 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Nov 2020 | | Submission deadline | 1 Dec 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 18 Dec 2020 - 25 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DCMS | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2BQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 11 Nov 2020 at 15:42 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb68a6d5-f777-4e14-ad66-5163f4014271 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb68a6d5-f777-4e14-ad66-5163f4014271 11th November 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-102167---Recording-Studios%2C-Production-Rooms%2C-And-Rehearsal-Studio-Market-Assessment/69M3PT3423 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
