Description

Birmingham Museums Trust is commencing its Laying the Foundations project, funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund. This new project is the first phase of a fundamental transformation of BMT to a resilient and financially sustainable organisation with the structure, culture, skilled workforce, and audience insights to deliver its ambitious vision. This first phase will lay the foundations - building insights, research and development that will shape the organisational transformation and help realise the vision of BMT for an open, participatory entrepreneurial and sustainable museums trust that plays a key role in the cultural and economic growth of Birmingham and the wider West Midlands region.

We are now seeking a team that will bring to the table big ideas and ambition that creatively respond to the vision, unafraid to challenge accepted norms, collaborating to support the organisation in further refining their vision and objectives, rooted in community needs. The team should have a strong sense of Birmingham and its unique characteristics and super-diversity.

In this round we are inviting responses from individuals, companies, or collaborations to the roles of Business Planning and/or Market Research. You will need to have a deep understanding of this area of work, but you do not necessarily need to be a bricks and mortar consultancy firm. Ultimately, we do not mind who you are (although if you are not based in the city, we hope that you would see the benefit of spending ample time here to get under the skin of its residents). Our teams are diverse, as is our city, and your work will recognise, celebrate, and respond to this.

Please register your interest with our Project Manager via administration@focus-consultants.com to receive any updates FAQs during the tender period. You are welcome to submit for one or both roles.

A launch event will be held on 10th January at 12pm via the Zoom link here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87402277396?pwd=RUwrbXJqRmNwS0JOUEVzT2FzNWJLUT09

Documents can be accessed via SHAREPOINT LINK, BMT website, or by emailing the above address. A recording of the launch event will also be made available.

The deadline for submissions is 2nd February 2024.
