## Summary

The Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking to appoint an artist or artists partnership for the Penistone Public Art Commission, with a project value of £42,500. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, and the tender process is currently complete. The contract period ran from 1st December 2020 to 30th June 2021, and the project aimed to enhance public engagement with the local culture and heritage through artistic works in Penistone, Yorkshire and the Humber. Interested parties were required to register their interest via YORtender before the deadline on 30th October 2020.

This public art commission presents a valuable opportunity for artists and creative businesses, particularly those with an interest in community-driven projects and public installations. Businesses that can foster engagement with local communities, especially among young people, would be well-positioned to compete. The requirement for artists to be involved with the Penistone area, although not essential, suggests a preference for local talent, creating opportunities for those familiar with the community’s cultural dynamics.
