In plain English
The Arts Council of England wants a research firm to map how arts and cultural organisations in England involve young people in decisions (youth voice), so it can see what works, what is missing and where to invest. The work is a one-off study with a budget of about £20,833, and the full requirements are in a separate document (the ITQ, or invitation to quote) that must be requested by email.
What the buyer wants
• Design and deliver a research method that combines desk research (reviewing existing published material), an evidence review and quantitative data collection. • Run a sector-wide survey of arts and cultural organisations, with professionals and practitioners responding for their organisations, and add qualitative methods if they are feasible within the budget and timescale. • Produce outputs that are accessible and understandable to young people aged 14 and above.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list specific eligibility criteria, but it asks for a suitably qualified supplier with research and survey capability, and the detailed requirements sit in the ITQ, so a small business without evidence of research and survey experience would most likely be ruled out.
