This opportunity will play a vital role in strengthening cultural participation, supporting community engagement, nurturing creative talent, and contributing to town centre regeneration, while preserving an iconic historic asset for future generations.\nThe external operator will be responsible for the day-to-day management and operation of the Institute, including artistic programming, staffing, audience development, commercial activity, and venue hire, working in partnership with the Council.

preliminary market engagement with organisations interested in occupying and operating Blackwood Miners’ Institute (BMI) as a cultural and heritage venue.\nThe Council is looking to appoint an external operator to lead the artistic, cultural, community, and commercial activity of BMI, ensuring its long-term sustainability while protecting its heritage and public value. This opportunity will play a vital role in strengthening cultural participation, supporting community engagement, nurturing creative talent, and contributing to town centre regeneration, while preserving an iconic historic asset for future generations.\nThe external operator will be responsible for the day-to-day management and operation of the Institute, including artistic programming, staffing, audience development, commercial activity, and venue hire, working in partnership with the Council. CCBC will remain landlord and custodian of the building, retaining responsibility for long-term stewardship and major structural maintenance.\nThe Council is seeking suitable organisations that can deliver ambitious, inclusive, and high-quality cultural programming, develop audiences and community participation, support artist development and creative learning, and generate sustainable income through commercial and event activity. The ability to operate a multi-purpose venue, manage diverse spaces, and balance public value with commercial viability is essential.\nAs part of this market engagement, the Council is sharing headline operational data from 2025 to help prospective operators understand the scale and scope of activity at Blackwood Miners’ Institute:\n•\t37,111 tickets sold\n•\t36,349 audience attendees\n•\t£517,868.54 net income\n•\t164 performances delivered\n•\t82% average performance capacity\nThis is an opportunity to work in close partnership with the Council to co-design and deliver a refreshed operating model that will secure the long-term future of Blackwood Miners’ Institute. We want to collaborate with organisations who share our commitment to inclusive, creative, and community-focused cultural provision.\nDepending on the operating model proposed and following further legal assessment it is anticipated that the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE) may apply. If TUPE is applicable, eligible staff currently assigned to the operation of BMI may have the right to transfer to the successful external operator on their existing terms and conditions.\nOrganisations wishing to attend a planned site visit to the Blackwood Miners’ Institute on either Wednesday, 11 March 2026, or Wednesday, 18 March 2026, must register their attendance no later than three working days before their chosen visit date.\nThe deadline for submitting an Expression of Interest is 12:00 noon on Thursday, 26 March 2026.\nThe deadline for submitting any questions prior to the Expression of Interest is 12:00 noon on Monday, 23 March 2026.\nFurther details, including timescales and submission requirements, will be issued as part of this tendering process.\nOrganisations interested in attending a site visit and/or submitting an Expression of Interest to tender can contact the Council by Dialogue on the Find-a-Tender Service, Proactis.\nA link
