This open procurement process, categorised under Artistic and Literary Creation and Interpretation Services (CPV: 92310000), has a total budget of £32,000. The tender aims to commission a minimum of four artworks to enhance the market's visibility and appeal. The procurement stage is currently active, with the tender period ending on 18th September 2024, and the contract period running from 11th October 2024 to 28th February 2025. The delivery location is England, United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for artists and creative teams, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to contribute to a high-profile local regeneration project. Businesses involved in artistic and literary creation, visual arts, and community engagement would be well-suited to compete, as they can leverage this platform to gain recognition and expand their service offerings in the public sector. By enhancing the market's attractiveness, the chosen provider will play a pivotal role in supporting local entrepreneurship and economic growth in Macclesfield. ## Notice Cheshire East Council has allocated UK Shared Prosperity Funding (UKSPF) to significantly improve the market under the 'Macclesfield Indoor Market Refurbishment' (MIMR) scheme. The aim is that Macclesfield Market will become the home of independent retail, a food and produce hub and an important business incubator for local entrepreneurs. MIMR will re-energise the market with a suite of high impact visual enhancements to create a welcoming market, increasing footfall and dwell time that supports the vitality and viability of the town centre. To complement the rebranding and physical upgrade of the indoor market, the Council is seeking to also commission a number of artworks, to both highlight the existence of the market, which is in a somewhat hidden location, and to tie in with the aspiration for the market to be a unique, quirky destination. One artist/team is sought to design and deliver a minimum of four artworks within a total budget of PS32,000. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/880406b5-cd89-4edd-a470-231230081af1 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | 18 Sep 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 10 Oct 2024 - 28 Feb 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £32,000 | | 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 | CHESHIRE EAST BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | SANDBACH | | Post town | Crewe | | Postcode | CW11 1HZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD62 Cheshire East | | Local authority | Cheshire East | | Electoral ward | Sandbach Town | | Westminster constituency | Congleton | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92310000 - Artistic and literary creation and interpretation services ## Release History - 29 Aug 2024 at 08:42 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/880406b5-cd89-4edd-a470-231230081af1 - 15 Aug 2024 at 15:22 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4133a137-e207-4b97-afb0-95285358d56e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/880406b5-cd89-4edd-a470-231230081af1 29th August 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4133a137-e207-4b97-afb0-95285358d56e 15th August 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
