## Summary

The procurement process, titled "NSDC: Artist in Residence," was conducted by Newark And Sherwood District Council, a public authority under sub-central government in the UK. This process, completed as of 18 November 2025, centres around a 5.5-month residency set to take place at the National Civil War Centre and Newark Museum, allowing for engagement with community groups across Newark Sherwood. The procurement falls under the services category and specifically pertains to library, archives, museums, and other cultural services. The limited procurement method was used, indicating a below-threshold competition. This opportunity, initially commenced on 20 October 2025, has already reached the contract awarded stage, with the agreement signed just before the start date on 19 October 2025. The contract runs until 21 March 2026.

This project opens avenues for businesses involved in artistic and cultural engagements, particularly those who can deliver community-centric programmes. It provides a platform for artists or cultural organisations that specialise in participatory activities to deepen their engagement with local communities and enhance their exposure through museum-based residencies. Large-scale suppliers primarily engaged in creating culturalisations will find this type of tender particularly aligned with their capabilities, as demonstrated by the award to Roberta Bellekom, an established large supplier in this domain. The project not only offers the chance to contribute to community development but also to showcase creative expertise within a prominent museum setting.
