Invitation to Tender – Finance support for AIM members

Job Title: Finance support for AIM members

Salary: Up to £15,000 annually (including VAT)

Terms: 1 October 2025 until 31 March 2028 (initially)

Location: Association of Independent Museums (AIM)

Closing date: 12:00 pm, 09 Jun 2025

We are seeking consultants, consortia, or organisations that can provide finance support to AIM members.

Finance is one of our AIM Hallmarks, our framework helping independent museums thrive. The Finance Hallmark sets out that a good independent museum seeks to ‘be financially resilient and well-managed as a charitable business’ and provides some questions to help self-assessment in this area. We support this by providing access to financial support.

Since 2018 this has been through a partnership with the Charity Finance Group, providing AIM members with CFG membership and enabling them to access CFG member resources, helplines, and events. We understand around a third of members have utilised this offer, around 75 in depth and others less frequently or in a more limited way.

We are currently seeking to re-tender this support as a matter of best practice for our use of public funding, and to ensure we have explored ways to meet our membership’s need for finance support.
