About the requirement

From the notice

Artsmark is a national award and development programme that helps schools put arts and culture at the heart of education by recognising achievement, supporting improvement and fostering connections. The Artsmark Award is accredited by Arts Council England and is the only award for arts and culture provision in England. Artsmark is open to primary, secondary and special schools, as well as hospital schools, pupil referral units, youth offending teams, virtual schools and sixth form colleges in England. Artsmark will be celebrating its 25th year in 2026/27. Arts Council England ("ACE") are seeking a suitably qualified Supplier to manage a young person-led commissioning project as part of Artsmark 25. This will involve identifying and working with a group of young commissioners to commission an artist to create art works and resources for Artsmark schools, leading to the design of a new Artsmark Award certificate as part of our celebratory year. This project will focus on our key aim of 'Celebrating Artsmark schools and pupils' and will put young people's voice at its heart. Further details on the requirements is provided within the ITQ, which can be requested via email from Kathryn.Welford@artscouncil.org.uk[E10]
