This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in research consultancy services to participate in assessing the cultural infrastructure maintenance backlog. Companies specialising in survey-based research and in-depth case studies would be well-suited to compete. The tender process, which is open to electronic and written submissions, provides a chance for businesses to engage with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in a significant government intervention project aimed at improving cultural infrastructure in England.

## Notice

The aim of this research is to understand the scale of the cultural infrastructure maintenance backlog to assess the potential cost of government intervention, understand why this backlog exists and develop a methodology for assessing the impact of investment into improving cultural infrastructure to make a better and more-informed case for government intervention. The focus is on theatre venues and publicly accessible heritage-based attractions in England. The research is expected to include a combination of surveys based on a representative sample of organisations and in-depth case studies with specific organisations. We expect this project to produce a publishable report to summarise the results of the research alongside a dynamic spreadsheet to cost various potential government intervention scenarios. The evaluation is expected to be awarded and commence in November 2023 and expected to complete by March 2024.
