The memorial aims to honour the city's experience during the pandemic and is set to be unveiled on March 23, 2023. The project requires the chosen artist to engage with various stakeholders until September 2023, with a contract period starting from December 2, 2022. This tender opportunity is ideal for artists and companies in the recreational, cultural and sporting services industry category, particularly those with experience in community-focused projects. The project, valued at GBP 140,000, follows an open procurement method, providing equal opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to participate in the selection process. ## Notice Sheffield Museums is working with Sheffield City Council to appoint an artist to design and construct a Covid Memorial within Sheffield's city centre. The engagement, involvement and ownership of the memorial by the people of Sheffield is a fundamental part of this project and we are particularly looking for an artist with experience of working with under-represented communities to create work in the public realm.The memorial will be sited within Balm Green Gardens in Sheffield City Centre. It will become a focal point to mark Sheffield's experience of Covid and a place where people come to remember loved ones and reflect on the help and support of services, community, neighbours, friends, and family. The memorial will be a lasting testimony to the city's experience - celebrating small acts of kindness, supporting positive change and remembering those we have lost.Sheffield City Council anticipate that the memorial will be in place for the third national commemoration of the pandemic on the 23rd March 2023. The successful artist will be able to develop and install the work within this timescale and will be required to engage with a wide range of stakeholders until September 2023. The selection process will be facilitated by Sheffield Museums on behalf of Sheffield City Council. Once appointed, the artist will be contracted to Sheffield City Council. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c6d70d85-651d-4508-a8a0-d974bf2e4c39 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Oct 2022 | | Submission deadline | 21 Nov 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Dec 2022 - 29 Sep 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £140,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SHEFFIELD MUSEUMS TRUST | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 2LH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92000000 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ## Release History - 21 Oct 2022 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c6d70d85-651d-4508-a8a0-d974bf2e4c39 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c6d70d85-651d-4508-a8a0-d974bf2e4c39 21st October 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT165350 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.museums-sheffield.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
