The sculpture is intended to represent strength and valor, reflecting the dedication of healthcare workers amidst crises like COVID-19. The procurement process, which is currently in the award stage, poses an opportunity for businesses specialised in public relations services, design consultancy, and works of art. The contract value is £42,500 GBP, with an open procedure below threshold, and the contract period spans from 18th May 2023 to 1st April 2024. This tender by the Sandwell And West Birmingham Hospitals offers a chance for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) to participate in providing a meaningful contribution to the healthcare environment. Businesses capable of creative design, art, and public relations services, particularly those with a focus on community enrichment, are well-suited to compete. The project's emphasis on reflecting the diversity of the UK and providing recognition and thanks to healthcare workers and patients aligns with businesses aiming to deliver impactful and socially responsive solutions. ## Notice Your Trust Charity, the registered charity of Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWB), require a provider to design, fabricate and install an inspirational sculpture for the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital providing a welcoming image of strength and valor. The sculpture will feature a figure that hints at Florence Nightingale's "Lady with the Lamp" not only reflective of the parallels between the strife of healthcare workers during the war and during covid but also hinting at the guiding light illuminating the way and providing security for those battling ill health. The piece will be empowering, with the figure standing atop a stylised kite shield base, showing the brave work of healthcare professionals on the frontline in the fight against covid-19 and the subsequent healthcare emergency. They went into the covid pandemic with little personal protection and in effect without a shield. The piece will be free of race, colour and creed reflecting the diversity of the UK and more specifically the intense diversity of the area surrounding the hospital. The piece will be enriching, offering some recognition and thanks to the hospital staff working tirelessly but also to the patients and families attending the hospital bringing some light into what may be difficult visits. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/beed34cf-b384-4ae5-9ab4-d2bf133f3f2a | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 May 2023 | | Submission deadline | 20 Apr 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 17 May 2023 | | Contract period | 17 May 2023 - 1 Apr 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £42,500 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £42,500 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SANDWELL AND WEST BIRMINGHAM HOSPITALS | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B71 4HJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG37 Sandwell | | Local authority | Sandwell | | Electoral ward | West Bromwich Central | | Westminster constituency | West Bromwich | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | JACOB CHANDLER | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 79415200 - Design consultancy services - 79416000 - Public relations services - 92311000 - Works of art ## Release History - 18 May 2023 at 16:34 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/beed34cf-b384-4ae5-9ab4-d2bf133f3f2a - 18 May 2023 at 16:34 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d1bd45b0-38bc-4ca3-8c61-d6c1cbe67b4a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/beed34cf-b384-4ae5-9ab4-d2bf133f3f2a 18th May 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d1bd45b0-38bc-4ca3-8c61-d6c1cbe67b4a 18th May 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
