Summary of the contracting process

Ferryhill Town Council, a regional authority in the United Kingdom, has initiated and completed a contracting process for the design, manufacture, and installation of a Miner's Lamp Sculpture at Ferryhill Station, County Durham. This contract, classified under services provided by individual artists, aimed to commemorate the mining heritage of the area through community and school consultations. The procurement followed a restricted procedure method and was covered by the GPA. The contract was awarded on 1st February 2025 to Andrew McKeown, an SME based in Marton, Middlesborough, with the procurement process falling under the directive's scope due to its specialist nature.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in artistic and cultural installations, particularly those capable of engaging with local communities through workshops and educational events. Artists and small to medium enterprises possessing expertise in public art projects, sculpture design, and cultural heritage commemoration would have been well-suited to compete for this contract. The focus on community involvement and specialised artistry underscored the need for professional sculptors adept in working with local entities and creating bespoke installations that resonate with local history and culture.
