## Summary

The Council of the City of Wakefield commissioned management of Bastien David’s “Sensitive” exhibition at Wakefield Exchange. The service covers liaison with the artist, transport, fabrication and installation for the exhibition planned for summer 2027. This is event management and exhibition production work, rather than a general arts programme or venue operation. The delivery location is Wakefield, in West Yorkshire. The requirement brings together coordination with an artist and practical production responsibilities, including moving and making exhibition components and installing them at the venue. It is relevant to cultural organisations and event producers able to manage an exhibition from artist liaison through to on-site installation.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Project Space Leeds (Yorkshire Contemporary). Wakefield Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and is active for the period from 30 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its gross value is £50,000. The requirement was organised as one lot. The published procurement information does not state a separate evaluation basis or scoring criteria; the award was made through the stated non-competitive route.

For suppliers considering similar future exhibition work for Wakefield Council, this award shows demand for a specialist service that combines cultural project management with hands-on production. A credible provider would need to coordinate effectively with an artist, organise transport, manage fabrication and deliver safe, reliable installation at Wakefield Exchange. Experience handling contemporary art exhibitions and bringing creative requirements into practical delivery would be relevant. The scope suits an organisation able to take responsibility across the full chain rather than provide only transport, fabrication or installation in isolation. The selected provider is an SME, demonstrating that this kind of exhibition-management requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist organisation.
