## Summary

The West Midlands Combined Authority is seeking a consultant, organisation, or consortium to conduct a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the cultural sector within the West Midlands. This procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with the tender closing on 16 November 2020. The project, valued at £55,000, aims to establish a baseline for the sector which will support future development and enhance the region's economic strategies. The analysis will consider various aspects including cultural infrastructure, economic impact, and tourism data, with a contract period set to begin on 11 December 2020 and extend until 22 March 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in financial consultancy, particularly those with expertise in the cultural sector and a strong understanding of regional dynamics in the West Midlands. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as this procurement framework is designed to promote inclusivity and support diverse suppliers. Companies that can demonstrate experience in data analysis and stakeholder engagement within the creative industries are well positioned to leverage this opportunity for business growth.

## Notice

The purpose of this project is to provide both quantitative and qualitative analysis of the cultural sector in the West Midlands to provide an evidence base for future development of the sector in the region, as well as maximise opportunities around major events and other place-based approaches. The cultural sector, as part of the region's wider creative industries, is a key component of the Local Industrial Strategy and the Creative Industries Sector Plan. This proposal is focused on the cultural sector infrastructure & assets, economic impact, tourism visitor data, employment, skills and diversity. The key focus is to produce a pre-Covid baseline, although estimates for changes and future impacts should also be included where relevant. We are looking for a consultant, organisation or consortium with deep understanding of and connectivity with the cultural sector in the West Midlands, as well as the skills, knowledge and ability to deliver the required outcomes.
