## Summary

Stevenage Borough Council has completed its procurement for the public art sculptures in Stevenage to enhance the forthcoming arts and heritage trail. This contract is part of a project to commission four artists or artist collectives, aiming to enrich the cultural landscape of Stevenage. The procurement process, initiated as an open competition under the 'Below threshold - open competition' regime, sought to integrate artistic and literary creation and interpretation services. The tender, identified as SBC0825, was concluded with contract awards on 5th December 2025 and runs until 31st August 2026, offering each commission a budget of £40,000 excluding VAT. The suppliers awarded include Dappled LTD, Emily Peasgood Studio Limited, Louis Smith, and Tom Hill Works ltd, showcasing a broad spectrum of artistic talent from various locations across the UK.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs in the artistic sector. Businesses equipped to deliver artistic and literary creation services, and those with expertise in developing artworks for public spaces, are well-positioned to benefit from similar opportunities by Stevenage Borough Council and similar agencies. The procurement method facilitates competition and innovation by allowing smaller creative and sculptural firms from regions like London, Ramsgate, Cardiff, and Hertfordshire to secure substantial contracts and showcase their creativity and contribute to the cultural heritage of Stevenage. As public art continues to gain traction, it opens avenues for collaboration, creativity, and economic development for those engaged in artistic services.
