Summary of the contracting process

Midlothian Council has initiated a public procurement process for a "Percentage of Art Proposal, Morris Road, Newbattle". This is an open procedure aimed at selecting artists or teams of artists/designers/fabricators with strong conceptual and fabrication skills to create new artwork as part of a housing and community amenities project. The procurement process is in the Award stage, with details available as of 25 February 2025. The proposed artwork must fit within a budget of GBP 105,000 excluding VAT. The location for this project is in Newbattle, part of the Easthouses heritage area. The tender was initially published with submissions due by 24 March 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the art and design industry, particularly those specialising in public art installations. Companies or individuals with expertise in producing high-quality public art projects, and an interest in the heritage of Easthouses or public art heritage in general, would be well-suited to compete. Given the focus on quality over cost, with a 100% quality-based selection criterion, firms with a proven track record of delivering exceptional, site-specific art projects would have a competitive edge. This project is an excellent chance for artists and designers to gain visibility and contribute to the cultural and aesthetic value of a new housing development.
