Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Sir Ceredigion County Council is seeking to procure the services of a multidisciplinary creative practitioner or a partnership of arts practitioners for the project titled "Ceredigion: Creative Practitioner for Museum Display Interventions." This procurement falls under the artistic services category and involves the location in the UK, specifically in Aberaeron. The procurement stage is currently in the tender phase, with the submission deadline for proposals set on 26th January 2026. The process follows an open competition method allowing electronic submissions, in line with Welsh devolved regulations. The initiative aims to explore project themes using museum objects to co-create display interventions, with an estimated contract value between £12,000 and £15,000.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specializing in artistic and design services, particularly those with experience in creative interventions and museum projects. It is an excellent opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to expand their portfolio through collaboration with a UK-based public authority. The focus on innovative creations and interpretation offers potential growth in both artistic influence and business reach, particularly for entities willing to engage with cultural and heritage projects. The emphasis on a balance of technical quality (60%) and price (40%) suggests a competitive yet achievable scope for well-prepared bidders.
