Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured the supply and installation of contract artwork for communal areas in its Retirement Living schemes. The requirement covers artwork for shared residential spaces, including the associated installation work, rather than general construction or routine facilities management. It is classed as works of art and falls within the goods category. Delivery is across the East Midlands. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is intended for its Retirement Living schemes. Businesses serving public, residential or supported-living environments may therefore find this relevant if they can provide suitable artwork and manage installation across multiple communal locations in the region.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure below the threshold. The tender submission deadline was 14 July 2026 at 12:00, and the award date was 14 July 2026. Frame Den Ltd was selected as supplier for £96,000. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2030. The published estimated procurement value was also £96,000. The opportunity was presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the requirement was handled as a single procurement covering the artwork supply and installation service for the East Midlands. The award is active and no cancellation or termination is reported.

This award identifies a defined market for artwork supplied and installed in communal areas within Nottingham City Council’s Retirement Living schemes. A credible future competitor would need to combine artwork sourcing or production with reliable installation, coordinating both elements as one service. Relevant suppliers are likely to be small or medium-sized businesses able to deliver a residential, public-sector-facing requirement across the East Midlands. Useful capability would include selecting artwork appropriate for shared living environments, managing quantities and site logistics, protecting finished work during installation, and completing installations consistently across schemes. Firms with evidence of comparable artwork supply-and-installation projects, dependable subcontractor or installation capacity, and the ability to work within council purchasing procedures would be well placed when this requirement returns to market.
