## Summary

The procurement process, managed by Wakefield Council, involves the "Exhibition and Engagement at Wakefield Exchange" project, under the industry category "Works of art," with the CPV code 92311000. The project took place in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom, with key dates including a tender period that ended on 20th January 2025 and a contract period from 21st January to 19th June 2025. The procurement was completed under an exception method, and the total value of the contract was £155,290. The process reached the award stage, with the award announcement published on 23rd January 2025.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in the creative industry, particularly those specialising in interactive multimedia technologies, digital projections, and community arts engagement. SMEs and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises) are particularly well-suited to compete, given the project's emphasis on local engagement and artist-led workshops. The initiative is set to foster collaboration and mentorship, offering micro-commissions to local disabled artists, thus providing a platform for small businesses and community-focused enterprises to thrive and expand their portfolios.

## Notice

The project will be the first major exhibition at Wakefield Exchange which is due to open March 2025. The building, once the city's former Market Hall, has now been converted into a dynamic creative hub offering a lively and communal cultural space for residents, visitors and local businesses in the heart of the city. The exhibition and new artwork will be informed by an extensive programme of artist-led workshops focussed on local disabled community groups and artists. Other sculptures by the artist will also be included in the exhibition alongside interactive multimedia digital projections using cutting edge technologies and production methods. Alongside the exhibition there will be extensive community and school engagement, a district-wide touring showcase of the artist's earlier work and a mentoring programme with micro commissions for local disabled artists.
