This tender falls under the environmental services category and has an estimated value of £28,000. The tender period is set to close on 19 April 2022, with the contract period commencing on 1 June 2022 and concluding on 1 December 2022. The procurement is being conducted via an open procedure, allowing a wide range of organisations to participate. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for arts and cultural organisations seeking to expand their portfolios through public arts events. Businesses that specialise in creative project management, event planning, or community engagement initiatives would find this opportunity particularly suitable. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as this project aims to foster local collaborations and enhance community involvement in art and environmental education. ## Notice The Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Unit is seeking to commission or support an arts-based Festival that will build public awareness of, engagement with, and general support for the Cross-Channel Geopark and the bid for UNESCO Global Geopark status. The Council are seeking to collaborate with an arts-based organisation to promote and deliver an arts-led programme of events under the working title 'Festival of the Landscape' which will include some artworks or performances that will be central to the programme, supported by a variety of other events that may or may not be arts-specific (e.g. walks, talks, workshops, schools/education activities). This requirement could either support existing, planned work which would be developed or reframed to deliver the requirement, or be a new commission in its own right. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/537ffd25-49c5-46ea-a2b9-dd682ab2728f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 19 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2022 - 1 Dec 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £28,000 | | 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 | KENT COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MAIDSTONE | | Post town | Rochester | | Postcode | ME14 1XQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ45 Mid Kent | | Local authority | Maidstone | | Electoral ward | Penenden Heath | | Westminster constituency | Maidstone and Malling | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90700000 - Environmental services ## Release History - 29 Mar 2022 at 11:16 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/537ffd25-49c5-46ea-a2b9-dd682ab2728f - 17 Mar 2022 at 16:49 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/630f627c-7fdf-4aee-8cf9-4392ceb618d3 - 17 Mar 2022 at 09:27 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6487079d-9148-425c-804a-5b30610066ba - 17 Mar 2022 at 09:25 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7f3d9c2e-b5d4-44e9-9b2e-fdecbf167c5a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/537ffd25-49c5-46ea-a2b9-dd682ab2728f 29th March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/630f627c-7fdf-4aee-8cf9-4392ceb618d3 17th March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6487079d-9148-425c-804a-5b30610066ba 17th March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7f3d9c2e-b5d4-44e9-9b2e-fdecbf167c5a 17th March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.kent.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
