Supply to us

We're building something unique at ARIA, and we need great suppliers and partners to help us do it. From core operational services to specialised programme support, we work with providers who can help us run efficiently and effectively.

Principles

Our procurement model is designed to maximise the agility, quality and impact of ARIA's activities while ensuring responsible stewardship of public funds and building public trust. In particular, we ensure that:

  • Value-for-money considerations are consistent with ARIA's mission and evaluated in the context of the specific need.
  • We default to open competitions and that deviations from that default are considered and justified. ARIA will prioritise finding the best value for money solution for each requirement however by exception, a contract/grant may be awarded without competition. 

Opportunities

Request for Proposal: Data Capture project

This RFP seeks proposals to deliver a (primarily) qualitative data collection and analysis exercise, across different groups of ARIA stakeholders, creators and partners, in order to provide a rich data source, key findings and insights. The findings will help inform the direction of our projects, programmes and, more broadly, ARIA as a funding agency.
