This open tender, classified under artistic services, is set to address the artistic enhancement of nine underpasses connecting Thamesmead's canal network. The tender period concludes on 26th February 2020, with the contract expected to commence on 9th March and run until 31st July 2020. The total estimated value of the contract is £100,000, with a minimum threshold of £50,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in a culturally impactful project. Businesses with expertise in artistic commissions, urban design, and community engagement would be well-suited to participate. The project aims to celebrate local culture while providing a platform for emerging artists and fostering community connections through street art, making it an attractive prospect for those looking to expand their services in the creative sector. ## Notice We are looking for an experienced cultural organisation to develop and deliver a high quality programme of street art commissions on a series of 9 underpasses that connect Thamesmead's winding network of picturesque canals. These art commissions will celebrate Thamesmead's nature, wildlife and communities, and provide some much needed signage and wayfinding for pedestrians and cyclists. These street art commissions will build on a previous commission by Mark McClure in 2018 (pictured) and should respond to the wider history of street art in Thamesmead by local artists such as Trust Icon. In order to continue embedding a meaningful programme of street art in the future, we are also asking for the appointed organisation to develop an outline street art strategy for Thamesmead that sets out the opportunities and approaches for commissioning further works. The appointed organisation will create a series of art commissions to be painted directly on to the underpass walls and bridges along our 7km of canals, encouraging the exploration of Thamesmead's natural spaces and acting as a wayfinding tool for people wishing to explore our greenspaces. This street art project is part of Thamesmead's ongoing cultural programme, which aims to bring exceptional culture to everyday experiences and raise the profile of Thamesmead. The artworks will also contribute to our growing landscape activation programme which aims to reconnect Thamesmead residents with the rich nature on their doorstep. The research and development phase of this project should take place in March/April 2020, and the painting and installation of the artworks should follow in May/June 2020. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f42db62e-3977-46f5-89c6-f780ecac0451 | | 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 | 31 Jan 2020 | | Submission deadline | 26 Feb 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 Mar 2020 - 31 Jul 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | PEABODY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 7JB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Southwark | | Electoral ward | St George's | | Westminster constituency | Bermondsey and Old Southwark | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92310000 - Artistic and literary creation and interpretation services - 92312000 - Artistic services ## Release History - 31 Jan 2020 at 16:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f42db62e-3977-46f5-89c6-f780ecac0451 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f42db62e-3977-46f5-89c6-f780ecac0451 31st January 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Thamesmead:-Development-and-delivery-of-Canal-Street-Art-Programme-and-a-Street-Art-Strategy-in-Spring-2020/2HM4G78WB8 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
