Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned the supply, fabrication and erection of a sculpture for the Goldthorpe Art Project. This is a works requirement covering the physical manufacture and installation of a bespoke or specified sculpture, with fabrication work identified as the relevant activity. The project is associated with Goldthorpe and is being delivered in the United Kingdom. The council is a local public authority and is the organisation paying for and managing the requirement. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are those able to combine metalwork or other sculpture fabrication with site erection and practical delivery for a public-sector art project. The requirement is focused on a single Goldthorpe project rather than a broad, multi-service programme.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council selected Campbell Design & Engineering Ltd, an SME, on 11 September 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 11 September 2026 to 20 November 2026. Its gross value is £45,420. There is one completed lot covering the sculpture fabrication and associated works. The available record identifies the route and outcome but does not set out a separate scored evaluation model or published award weighting. The award is active and the contract is active, so this is an awarded requirement rather than an opportunity for suppliers to submit bids.

This award indicates that Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council buys sculpture projects requiring a supplier to take responsibility for fabrication and erection, rather than only providing design advice or artistic consultancy. A credible competitor for comparable work would need practical sculpture-manufacturing capability, the equipment and workshop capacity to produce the required structure, and the labour, lifting arrangements and site-management skills needed for safe installation. Experience delivering fabricated artwork or other bespoke structures would help demonstrate that the supplier can manage quality, finish, tolerances and installation constraints. Suppliers should also be able to work directly with a council-led project, coordinate delivery to Goldthorpe and provide the documentation, risk controls and on-site discipline expected for public works.
