Description

The council has been awarded a grant under the UKSPF to progress work to build community engagement and capacity for arts development and delivery as well as delivery of a town centre arts trail.

More details of the tender requirements can be found in the tender brief and other annexes, but the principle is that the council has been working with creative champions, stakeholders and partners for some time and the opportunity to take the next steps on that path towards greater community arts sustainability and engagement is now being taken.

This project is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). The appointed contractor/supplier will be expected to ensure adherence to all UKSPF guidance

The expectation is that the delivery organisation will be visible in Crewe to engage and support cultural champions, build existing networks and understand the cultural community and expectations in Crewe. Additionally, they will develop the concept of an arts trail in Crewe through to delivery, installation and launch.

There will be a need for engagement and consultation as well as community capacity building as the aim is to achieve cultural sustainability and growth in Crewe.

For absolute clarity, there is no flexibility in the budget or timescale.
