BFI FAN Places Fund Evaluation Tender

Salary: £20,000

Overview

The BFI FAN Places Fund is a pilot programme running from September 2024 – June 2025, designed to increase public engagement with independent cinema venues, using National Lottery funding to help them become more visible and accessible to their local communities. Film Hub Wales, Film Hub Midlands and Film Hub North have been selected to undertake this innovative marketing-led initiative across the UK.

The brief

An evaluation framework is required to assess the impact of the BFI FAN Places Fund activity. As a pilot project, we will need to establish a set of benchmarks, that can be monitored collectively across each region for the duration of the work. Systems should be designed and implemented in each area in order to gather qualitative feedback and quantitative data, exploring how successful the pilot has been, along with any recommendations for future delivery.

The appointed consultant will:

• Create an evaluation framework for the project, outlining methodology and identifying areas for potential data collection (including recommended outputs and indicators) such as increases in direct audience engagement or audience awareness, changes to audience demographics, or an increase in staff confidence and marketing related skills as a result of the activity
• Create templates for online surveys, in-person forums or similar that can be rolled out across participating venues
• Collate and compile data into a clear format
• Analysis all quantitative and qualitative evidence looking for key trends across the data, drawing comparisons to original benchmarks set by the participating venues
• Present the findings in a short, written report, ideally no more than 10 pages for initial findings and no more than 40 pages in total
• Pull out a mixture of qualitative and quantitative key findings for a visual summary infographic (see example) giving an overview of key figures, outputs and outcomes
• Undertake one-to-one stakeholder interviews with Hub leads and participating venues, creating 3 – 4 qualitative case studies (a minimum of one per region) to broaden the depth of findings (exact number subject to be discussed with the appointed consultant based on the models in each region)
