## Summary

Newcastle City Council has awarded a contract for the "Creative Central NCL Grainger Market Wayfinding Contract," which involves the manufacturing of wayfinding art pieces as part of public realm improvements funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

The award, made to Jed Buttress, an SME, was finalised on 12th December 2025, and the contract is active from that date until 31st March 2026, with a gross contract value of £36,000.
