  The Arts Council of England is using Delta eSourcing to run this tender exercise

Notice Summary
Title: GB-London: Evaluation of Arts Council England’s Supporting Grassroots Live Music programme
Notice type: Competitive Contract Notice
Authority: The Arts Council of England
Nature of contract: Not applicable
Procedure: Not applicable
Short Description: Supporting Grassroots Live Music (SGLM) is a strand of National Lottery Project Grants (NLPG), Arts Council England’s open-access programme for arts, museums and libraries projects. The SGLM strand has a budget of £1.5m per year ring-fenced for organisations and individuals whose work focuses on the hosting and promotion of live music events in venues. Arts Council England are seeking an independent evaluator to conduct a process and impact evaluation of the SGLM programme. The evaluation will provide insight and evidence of the impact of SGLM on grassroots music venues and promotors since 2019 and help inform and shape our continued to support to this sector once the ring-fenced funding finishes (currently scheduled for March 2022 but with a possible extension to March 2023 TBC). It should also provide wider learning for the Arts Council around how time limited financial interventions such as this one can be successfully delivered. The aims of the evaluation are therefore three-fold: a)To look back at funding to date to evaluate and understand how effective the programme has been in meeting its original aims and outcomes (as outlined below), and whether it has had the intended impact; b)To look forward, informing how the Arts Council might continue to support grassroots music venues and promoters beyond the life of this ring-fenced fund; c)To identify any learning that can be derived from this time-limited intervention that could inform the Arts Council’s work with other sectors.
