Tender description

As part of the BFI 2033 strategy, the BFI allocated £1.8 million to the Research and Statistics Fund (‘the Fund’) for the period 2023-2026. Working with the industry-led Research Advisory Group, and through the creation of independent, trusted and rigorous evidence - including bespoke commissioned research - the Fund addresses industry knowledge gaps, supports policymaking, and gives insight into how independent and cultural organisations can adapt and thrive. All data and research generated is shared publicly. We are piloting a new approach that allows the Fund to be more responsive to industry need to have information quickly on a range of different topics. The deliverables will be used to influence policy and strategically guide the sector. It is especially relevant at a time when there is volatility in business models and technological trends, and a fast-changing political landscape.
