What the notice says
The Local Government Association (LGA) and Arts Council England (ACE) are seeking a suitably experienced consultant to support a refresh of its ‘Cultural Strategy in a Box’ guidance, to ensure it remains relevant, practical and usable for councils operating in the current local government context.
The existing resource is well regarded and provides a robust end to end methodology for developing local cultural strategies. However, it predates significant changes in the policy, governance and operating environment for local government. This commission will focus on updating, refining and strengthening the existing product, rather than rewriting it wholesale.
The refreshed guidance will support councils to use culture as a strategic, cross cutting lever across place based priorities, within conditions of financial constraint, reorganisation and multi tier governance.
