## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council is initiating a public procurement process for a new art commission titled "Public Art Commission - Newmarket Road Underpass, Cambridge." This project falls under the artistic and literary creation category and is located in Cambridge, England. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage and the deadline for submission is 28 January 2019. The total value of the contract is set at £24,000. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing any interested parties to submit their proposals for consideration.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for artists and creative service providers to contribute to a project that aims to enhance community safety and aesthetic value. Businesses specialising in public art installations, lighting design, and those with experience in low-maintenance artistic solutions will find this an ideal procurement to pursue. Engaging in such contracts not only promotes business growth but also enables firms to showcase their innovative designs in a community-focused project.

## Notice

Cambridgeshire County Council seeks to commission an artist to create proposals for: Element 1 - Designs for options for a public art installation within and as part of a proposed underpass. The art work should create an underpass which is low maintenance, user friendly (creates an environment which is safe and welcoming and reduces the risk of crime/anti-social behaviour). The artwork should reference the history of the area in which the underpass is located and should recognise the positive impact that the Chisholm Trail will have in Cambridge. Element 2 - Lighting design for the underpass. Artist to design lighting options to light up the underpass and hopefully deter anti-social behaviour. The vision for this commission is to ensure the suitability of the underpass in the area whilst considering the area's sensitivities. The commission should also highlight the history of the underpass' surroundings and work within the constraints of the CCC lighting contract specifications.
