UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Croydon is commissioning an artist for the Norbury Railway Bridge Art Commission in Croydon. The requirement is for artistic services and works of art, with delivery in Croydon. The procurement description says LBC Regeneration will use a two-stage expression-of-interest process to procure and select an artist. The commission concerns the railway bridge; the published description does not elaborate on the artwork, its form or the work involved. This is an opportunity for suppliers providing artistic services, particularly artists able to develop and deliver a public art commission for a local authority.

The buyer reached the tender stage and invited offers through a two-stage expression-of-interest process, using an open competition. Enquiries were due by 10 October 2026 at 5pm, and expressions of interest by 15 October 2026 at noon. The contract period was set from 1 November to 1 December 2026. The estimated value is £32,500 excluding VAT (£39,000 including VAT). The evaluation basis is as stated in the brief. The procurement is arranged as a single lot. Expressions of interest were to be submitted by email to PrideinPlace@croydon.gov.uk; the tender terms describe electronic submission as not allowed.

The opportunity is specifically suited to small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises based in Croydon; participation is reserved for these supplier types and the stated location. It will therefore be most relevant to local artists or artistic-service providers able to take on a public art commission for a railway bridge. The stated scope identifies an art commission but gives no further capability, accreditation, staffing, capacity or experience requirements, so suppliers should use the brief to determine the detailed artistic and delivery expectations. The buyer says selection will be based on the brief. The stated contract period is short, making it relevant to suppliers able to plan and deliver within that period.
