The sculpture is designed by New York-based artist Brian Tolle. The sculpture represents optimism for the future of post-industrial communities like Bute Town and Rhymney whilst acknowledging the economic and social histories which are integral to their identity as towns.The twisted chimney art structure requires reconstruction due to initial storm damage and increased risk of further damage. In February 2024 some repair work was carried out on the structure. The Council are looking to rebuild the sculpture true to its original form whilst enhancing its durability and longevity. The steel frame is still in good condition and therefore will not need to be recreated and should be used in the reconstruction.Due to the specialist nature of the structure, the council is seeking suitably experience companies, who will carry out the reconstruction of the sculpture.The Council are seeking companies who are interested in undertaking this work. It is the intention that a Supplier Engagement Workshop on *Wednesday 11 September, 11:00-13:00* to discuss the project in more detail and from that companies will be asked to confirm if they would like to participate in and receive the tender documentation. This notice will be used as the call for competition.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=143699. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=143699 | | 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 | 20 Aug 2024 | | 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 | CAERPHILLY COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | HENGOED | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF82 7PG | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL53 Gwent Valleys | | Local authority | Caerphilly | | Electoral ward | Ystrad Mynach | | Westminster constituency | Caerphilly | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 44000000 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45000000 - Construction work - 45211360 - Urban development construction work - 45212300 - Construction work for art and cultural buildings - 45212311 - Art gallery construction work - 45212312 - Exhibition centre construction work - 45212313 - Museum construction work - 45212314 - Historical monument or memorial construction work - 45212320 - Construction work for buildings relating to artistic performances - 45212322 - Theatre construction work - 45223000 - Structures construction work - 45262000 - Special trade construction works other than roof works - 45262600 - Miscellaneous special-trade construction work - 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 - 20 Aug 2024 at 15:19 - Planning - S2W Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=143699 ## Notice URLs - https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/Account/LoginExperience - https://www.caerphilly.gov.uk - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=143699 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
