This procurement is part of the general public services industry category and focuses on engaging professional artists, musicians, performers, and cultural organisations to provide bespoke learning experiences for children in East Ayrshire. The planning stage includes a future notice date set for 15th September 2024, indicating ongoing opportunities for interested parties. The services to be provided under this framework are intended to promote mental, social, and physical well-being through various art forms, including music, art, drama, and dance, as well as a commitment to a holistic approach to education. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in creative arts, education, and cultural services. Companies that specialise in arts education, including those offering music, drama, dance, or visual arts, would be well-suited to compete for this framework. As the framework allows bidders to apply at any time during its four-year duration, it offers flexibility and the potential for sustained engagement with East Ayrshire Council, creating ample opportunities to enhance their services and contribute positively to the educational landscape in the region. ## Notice East Ayrshire Council seek to engage a wide range of professional artists/musicians and performers, creatives and cultural organisations to provide bespoke, high-quality learning experiences for the children of East Ayrshire. The services delivered under this Framework should champion the belief that the arts are powerful in developing a whole person approach to education whilst contributing to mental, social and physical wellbeing. Services may include (but are not limited to) music, art, drama and dance. For the avoidance of doubt, supply of goods (e.g. musical instruments, art supplies, sports equipment, educational materials) are not covered by this Framework Agreement. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Framework duration will be 4 years from the commencement date.
