## Summary

The Arts Council of England is seeking a contractor for a comprehensive national engagement survey on culture and creativity. The survey targets children and young people aged 0 to 15 across England and aims to measure their engagement in cultural and creative activities. The procurement process, classified under 'Survey Services' with CPV code 79311000, is currently in the award stage following a completed tender. The open procedure, which began with the tender being published on 27th November 2023, saw its tender period end on 15th January 2024. The contract, valued at GBP 888,515.50, was awarded on 10th March 2024. The project aims for geographically detailed reporting and will span from 26th February 2024 to 31st March 2025.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in survey services, data collection, and cultural evaluation, particularly those equipped to handle large-scale, geographically detailed projects. SMEs are considered suitable, although the selection criteria remain stringent. The inclusion of subcontracting options for printing, mailing, and online questionnaire services opens doors for smaller related businesses to contribute. With criteria emphasising quality (70%), social value (10%), and cost (20%), businesses demonstrating technical prowess and value addition stand a good chance of winning such contracts, thereby enhancing their portfolio and gaining significant industry exposure.
