## Summary

The Arts Council of Wales has recently awarded a contract for a scoping exercise titled "Climate Justice and Nature Connection Consortium," focusing on environmental and land manager organisations to foster opportunities for artists engaging with nature. Located in Cardiff, United Kingdom, the procurement falls under the industry category of 'Research and development consultancy services.' The contract was awarded on 13th August 2025, with a gross value of £20,000, and will run from 29th August 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement process was conducted using an open method, involving a below-threshold competition, and has progressed from planning and tender to the awarding stage. The bidding process saw five submissions, all from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and was overseen by Judith Musker Turner of the Arts Council of Wales.

This contract offers a valuable opportunity for businesses with a strong background in research consultancy, particularly those skilled in scoping exercises and fundraising, to contribute to the development of cross-sector collaborations. Organisations or freelancers experienced in arts and environmental partnerships are well-suited to drive the consortium's efforts, including scheduling and facilitating meetings that will strategically link arts and environmental initiatives in Wales. Successful bidders will play a pivotal role in shaping a new consortium model, advocating for the arts within environmental contexts, and setting the groundwork for future sustainable projects. Engaging in this project could provide businesses with unparalleled exposure in both the cultural and environmental sectors, driving growth through innovative partnerships and diversified involvement in climate justice initiatives.
