## Summary

Leicestershire County Council, a sub-central government public authority, recently awarded a contract for the delivery of the Stronger Museums Programme, focusing on organisational health support for museums. The procurement, which did not involve competition as it was below the threshold, follows the programme's transfer from the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust. This contract commenced on 1st April 2026 and is set to end on 31st March 2027, with potential renewal options. The project falls under the services category, specifically targeting business analysis consultancy within the United Kingdom, spanning regions UKF and UKG.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for business growth by providing specialist consultancy services to improve the organisational health of museums. SMEs specialising in business analysis, particularly those familiar with the demands of cultural and heritage sectors, are ideally positioned to benefit from such contracts. The Collett Consultancy was selected as the supplier, highlighting the potential for similar organisations to engage in future opportunities if they possess the requisite expertise in providing strategic guidance and support to museums. The contract, valued at £40,000, contains renewal provisions contingent on funding and satisfactory performance, allowing businesses to establish long-term relationships with public authorities like Leicestershire County Council.

## Notice

Following the transfer of hosting of the Arts Council Funded Museum Development Midlands (MDM) Programme from Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust in February 2026, Leicestershire County Council will continue delivery of elements of the MDM programme that are already in progress. This contract relates to the continuation of specialist delivery for the Stronger Museums Programme, focused on intensive organisational health support for museums.
