    "description": "Since Brexit, Arts Council England has continued to collaborate with funders and cultural institutes in Germany, France, Italy, Denmark and Norway, to reframe cultural co-operation pathways following UK\u0027s exit from the European Union and the Creative Europe programme. Projects with each of the countries and cultural institutions have focused on themes which are valued by Arts Council, and which resonate with European partners. \r\n      Arts Council is commissioning an evaluation to measure and understand the impacts on artists, audiences and participants of these bi-lateral partnerships. We are also interested in understanding the wider impacts of the partnerships including the development of the cultural sector, soft power and the repairing of international relationships, particularly in how England and the UK are perceived post-Brexit. Additionally, we want to understand from each of the partnership-working models formed the conditions for successful partnership working, particularly between Arts Council England and international and UK partners.\r\n\r\nAdditional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.",
