Description

The contractor would operate within the framework of the Museum Development East Midlands programme which is currently funded through the Arts Council England (ACE) National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) Sector Support Organisation (SSO) funding stream from April 2018 to March 2021 with the possibility of a funding extension to the end of March 2022. MDEM works with 100 accredited museums and those working towards Museum Accreditation. MDEM's target is to support museums to operate more effectively increasing their long term viability and relevance. Support is delivered through direct advice, grants, training provision, facilitated networks, workshops and tailored, intensive activity. It will not work directly to support other regional NPOs (14 museum sites) from April 2018. East Midlands is defined as Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland. MDEM has a series of goals and SMARTs to meet in a funding agreement with ACE which will be signed off in March 2018.
