## About this tender

By the end of February 2016 the Arts Council will wish to engage with stakeholders across England about our proposed approach to the future National portfolio and range of investment programmes, including strategic funds and Grants for the arts.

To support the engagement the Arts Council England wishes to procure a service provider to undertake research which will include the following aims and objectives:

• To gather in-depth stakeholder feedback about Arts Council’s England’s proposals for future public funding of the arts and culture in England between 2018-21

• To gather in-depth stakeholder feedback about key future challenges within the arts and cultural sector and about topical debates such as geographical distribution of funds, local government funding and devolution.

• To ensure that in-depth feedback is gathered from across the Arts Council’s close and more distant stakeholders in the sector, and across the regions of England

• To analyse and report on feedback gathered to ascertain the sector’s attitudes, beliefs, opinions and perceptions of the Arts Council’s proposals, including where there is support or opposition and suggestions for changes.

• To inform the Arts Council’s final approach to its 2018-21 investment round.
