Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Westminster City Council focuses on commissioning a Public Art Agency to develop and deliver public art installations as part of the Paddington-Bayswater High Streets Programme. This engagement is classified under the services industry category, particularly for administrative recreational, cultural, and religious services, with activities centred around Praed Street, Queensway, and Westbourne Grove in London. The procurement, following an open procedure, was initiated through a tender and has now reached the award stage, concluding with active contracts signed on 30th May 2025. The contract is valued at £480,000, split equally between two lots: Lot 1 (Praed Street) and Lot 2 (Westbourne Grove/Queensway).

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in public art consultancy and curatorial services, especially those capable of engaging with local stakeholders and facilitating art project developments in urban environments. Businesses like Contemporary Art Society Consultancy and Lacuna PR Limited have already demonstrated success by securing the contracts for this project. SMEs involved in cultural and recreational projects are well-suited to compete in such tenders due to their creative expertise and ability to execute community-engaged art projects within specified urban locales. Participation in such high-profile municipal projects can aid business growth through increased visibility and expanded project portfolios. The open procurement process allows for a broad range of potential suppliers to engage, fostering competitive and innovative offerings tailored to client needs.
