The tender falls under the services category, specifically focusing on cultural event organisation and artistic services. Interested parties must submit expressions of interest by 10th February 2022, detailing their experience, capacity for delivering the project by September 2022, and any additional relevant information. The selection process will favour partnerships based on the quality and relevance of their past work, with tender returns expected by the end of March and festival activities anticipated to begin in September. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the creative and arts sectors, particularly those with experience in cultural event management, artistic consultancy, or public art installations. Companies specialising in working with local authorities to promote urban art and festivals would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The potential for ongoing commissions and the establishment of a regular street arts festival could lead to sustained business growth for successful bidders in the region. ## Notice OverviewSwansea Council will shortly be inviting applications from suitably qualified and experienced creative partnerships to assess the optimum methodology for creating a street arts infrastructure in Swansea; for example utilising gable ends, key junctions, dwell points and landmark buildings to create a 'blueprint' of usable sites for street artists and in some possible situations, graffiti writers, to present new urban artworks and gateway features for the city. The brief includes the need to commission the first series of artist commissions for this new infrastructure, within the budget available, but it is expected that the infrastructure will enable regular street arts commissions and stimulate an expansion to districts, and potentially an annual festival for the city and region, managed and steered by Swansea Council.The anticipated time scales areEnd March: Return of TendersEnd April: CommencementSeptember: New artworks on displaySelection processThe partnership will be selected on the basis of the quality/price and relevance of their past work experience to the brief and will be subject to a formal quotation and presentation exercise led by Swansea Council, in order to be a part of the quotation process please respond to this notice with the required information required below.NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=118245. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=118245 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CITY & COUNTY OF SWANSEA | | Locality | SWANSEA | | Post town | Swansea | | Postcode | SA1 3SN | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL4 Mid and South West Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL43 Swansea | | Local authority | Swansea | | Electoral ward | Waterfront | | Westminster constituency | Swansea West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 79952100 - Cultural event organisation services - 92311000 - Works of art - 92312000 - Artistic services - 92312200 - Services provided by authors, composers, sculptors, entertainers and other individual artists - 92312250 - Services provided by individual artists ## Release History - 2 Feb 2022 at 14:09 - Planning - S2W Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=118245 ## Notice URLs - http://https://www.swansea.gov.uk/dobusiness - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=118245 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
