Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the 'Year of Legends Artwork Commissions' is being conducted by the Welsh Government, located in Cardiff, United Kingdom. This initiative falls under the services category within the artistic sector, specifically focusing on the creation of works of art at iconic heritage sites in Wales. The procurement method selected is a selective procedure aimed at inviting top scoring artists to participate. While the contract has been awarded, it has not succeeded in fulfilling all required criteria, and the process aimed for completion within a two-year timeframe for project installation and artwork delivery. The contract values for the various Lots range between £250,000 and £400,000, with a focus on community benefits linked to the local economy and societal objectives.

This tender presents significant opportunities for creative businesses and individual artists looking to expand their portfolios and visibility through high-profile commissions. Businesses with expertise in artistic design, community engagement, and sustainable practices would be particularly well-placed to compete. The emphasis on conservation principles and innovations that honour Welsh legends offers a unique platform for those looking to enhance cultural tourism in Wales, making it an attractive opportunity for artists and companies focused on public art installations.

Cadw, Welsh Government on behalf of the Welsh Ministers has announced a major competition to mark 2017's Year of Legends.
