## Notice

NOTE: This notice was updated on 28 September 2023 for the following reason: Tender return date has been extended by 1 week, the deadline for tender submissions is now Midday on 11th October 2023.(ACE 539 ITT Keeping Safe in the Arts and Culture Sector Research Project. We have heard from practitioners about people being in situations where they felt vulnerable or uncomfortable, or could see other people in that position, often linked to the behaviour of others, usually those with more perceived power. Practitioners told us that there is a lack of confidence and understanding in knowing how to call out those behaviours, where support is available and what good practice looks like for individuals and organisations when these situations arise. For the purposes of this ITT, we are calling this Keeping Safe. The aim of this project is to expand the publicly available Arts Council England online content that provides practical support for practitioners and individuals around keeping safe. The Contractor will be required to carry out desk research and a social media campaign to source available resources, and conduct focussed follow up conversations from the results.) Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
