Summary of the contracting process

East Lindsey District Council commissioned a community-focused artwork inspired by the district’s heritage, landscapes and coastal identity. The service covers the design, development and delivery of an artwork incorporating light and sound, together with community engagement activities and workshops. Residents are intended to contribute meaningfully to the creative development. The completed installation is designed as an immersive storytelling experience celebrating local heritage, identity and shared experiences. This is an artistic services requirement, classified under CPV 92312000. The commissioning organisation is East Lindsey District Council, based in Horncastle, Lincolnshire, and the work concerns the East Lindsey area. It will suit creative practitioners able to combine public art, storytelling, light and sound, and participatory community activity.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. East Lindsey District Council used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot, covering the full artwork commission. SDNA LTD was awarded the contract on 14 July 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 14 July 2026 to 25 October 2026. Its value is £20,000 excluding VAT, or £24,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers artistic services for the design, development and delivery of the light-and-sound artwork, including community engagement and workshops. The recorded award is to SDNA LTD, a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise, for the single lot.

This procurement indicates demand from East Lindsey District Council for small-scale, place-based public art that combines creative production with meaningful community participation. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need experience designing and delivering immersive artwork using light and sound, with the ability to turn local heritage, landscapes and coastal identity into a coherent public-facing story. It would also need to plan and run workshops or other engagement activities, involve residents in creative development, and manage installation through to a finished visitor experience. Relevant artistic, storytelling, technical production and facilitation capabilities would need to work together, supported by the capacity to deliver a complete commission for a local authority within a defined delivery period.
