The tender period will end on 17th October 2021, with the award period commencing the following day. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, inviting a wide range of bids.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in educational services, cultural programming, and consultancy—particularly those with expertise in art residencies and creative industries. Companies capable of delivering training and development programmes for arts organisations, art galleries, and individual artists would be particularly well-suited to compete. The initiative aligns with the broader context of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, which aims to enhance cultural engagement and support local arts infrastructure, providing an excellent platform for business growth within this evolving sector. ## Notice The British Council seeks a course leader to develop and deliver art residency masterclasses during Nov 21-Jan 22, following a poll/survey with local art entities to best meet their needs and aspirations. The programme content can be determined depending on the survey/poll results, in consultancy with the British Council, and delivered online. This may be in collaboration with a local partner such as the Ministry of Culture.The audiences for this project are arts organizations, art galleries and artists who are interested in enhancing their knowledge and experience about art residencies. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Saudi Arabia has been going through a period of rapid change in response to the country's Vision 2030, one of which is establishing the Ministry of Culture (MoC) in June 2018. Since then, the MoC has launched its vision and strategy for the future and worked rapidly to achieve the Kingdom's Vision by announcing a series of initiatives. Among those initiatives is the first country-wide MoC-led residency programme. There is also an interest from arts organizations and artists to develop infrastructure to support artists' practice and skills through artist residencies. Throughout 2019, the British Council supported a series of scoping visits for Saudi artists to learn about opportunities in the UK and for Saudi cultural organizations to meet with and find out more about the practicalities of setting up a successful residency programme in the UK. To continue the conversations and encourage further collaborations, we undertook an open call in 2020 to select UK organizations interested in continuing discussions with their Saudi counterparts to pilot a scheme in the next financial year. Through the learnings of the delegations, we realized that the need to develop art residencies both locally and internationally through partnerships is vital. Art residency programmes are substantial for artists as they offer artists space and time to reflect, research, practice, exchange skills and build professional networks. They are also international cultural exchange in the long term and the links and networks between art residency organizations and individual artists enrich the cultural discourse and strengthen the creative economy. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023919-2021 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | 17 Oct 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRITISH COUNCIL | | Locality | SHARJAH UAE | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | N/A | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 92000000 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ## Release History - 27 Sep 2021 at 10:56 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023919-2021 ## Notice URLs - http://www.britishcouncil.org - https://in-tend.co.uk.britishcouncil/ - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/britishcouncil ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
