UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Velindre University NHS Trust is procuring artistic services for the new Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff. The requirement is for a professional artist to design and create eight wall-based artworks for the entrance areas, or treatment-room mazes, associated with the radiotherapy facilities. The work concerns the design and creation of original visual artworks installed within a healthcare environment, rather than general building, maintenance or clinical services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based at Nantgarw near Cardiff. Businesses that specialise in commissioned artwork, public art, murals or site-specific creative work may find the requirement relevant, particularly where they can develop artwork for sensitive public settings and coordinate its creation with a major cancer-care project.

The process reached tender: the Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender and enquiry deadlines were both 21 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The single lot has an estimated value of £39,199.20 excluding VAT, or £48,999 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 April 2027. The award basis is quality, assessed entirely through the technical response, which carries 100% of the weighting. Submissions were to be sent by email to the addresses stated for the procurement. The competition was not above the applicable threshold. The requirement is presented as one lot, covering the full eight-artwork commission rather than separate artwork packages.

This opportunity suits a professional artist or specialist arts practice able to take responsibility for an end-to-end commissioned-artwork project: interpreting the setting, developing a coherent design approach, producing eight wall-based works and delivering them for installation in radiotherapy treatment-room entrance areas. Relevant suppliers are likely to be those with experience of site-specific, public-facing or large-scale visual artwork, especially in occupied, regulated or sensitive environments. The evaluation places all weight on the technical response, so bidders need to demonstrate a clear creative proposal and the practical ability to deliver it. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable, making the commission accessible to an established independent artist or smaller studio with the required capability and capacity.
