Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield commissioned services for the booking of large-scale artwork at Wakefield Exchange. The requirement falls within artistic and literary creation and interpretation services, covering the arrangement of artwork for a major venue or public-facing space. Delivery is in Wakefield, where the Council is based and where the artwork is to be presented. This is a creative services requirement rather than a construction, supply or general facilities-management contract. It would be relevant to organisations that create, curate, broker or arrange large-scale artwork, particularly those able to work with a local authority and coordinate delivery for a prominent civic or cultural location.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to LEAP THEN LOOK CIC, a Brighton-based supplier. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 6 August 2026 to 13 April 2027. Its gross value is £9,200. The process was a below-threshold procurement using a method recorded as unknown, with one completed lot. The award covers services for booking large-scale artwork at Wakefield Exchange. The contract is active and the tender is complete. The available procurement information identifies the requirement and successful supplier, but does not set out a separate award date or detailed evaluation criteria. The buyer is the Council of the City of Wakefield.

This award demonstrates demand from Wakefield Council for commissioned large-scale artwork delivered at Wakefield Exchange, with a relatively focused, time-limited requirement rather than a large multi-site programme. A credible future competitor would need a strong portfolio of large-scale artwork, the ability to identify or secure suitable creative work, and experience managing bookings and delivery for a public-facing venue. Suppliers should also be prepared to work within local-authority processes and timescales, coordinate with venue stakeholders, and demonstrate reliable delivery of artistic services. The successful organisation is a small voluntary, community or social enterprise, indicating that this type of requirement can suit specialist creative SMEs and mission-led organisations.
