## Summary

The Dundee City Council has awarded a contract for the production of a Bespoke Landmark Sculpture at Broughty Ferry. The procurement process involved seeking proposals from experienced artists for public art to enhance the route for walking, cycling, and wheeling. The Council required unique placemaking pieces, commissioning different artists for each sculpture. The total budget for the awarded sculpture was GBP100,000.00, and the contract was signed on 24th July 2023.

This contract presents an opportunity for artists and SMEs in the public art sector to showcase their skills and creativity. Businesses with experience in sculpting and public art installations would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. With a specific focus on placemaking and enhancing public spaces, this contract aligns with the growing demand for innovative and community-centric art projects. Interested parties can explore similar opportunities through the Dundee City Council's procurement website.

## Notice

The Council is looking to procure the services of suitably experienced Artists to submit proposals for Public Art to assist with "Placemaking" on the route that will encourage walking, cycling, wheeling and that provide enjoyment, comfort and protection. As part of this there are two significant landmark sculptures to be commissioned. The brief for both sculptures is the same apart from the location where they will be installed - one at The Esplanade, Broughty Ferry, and one at Monifieth. It is a specific requirement for the two sculptures to be unique placemaking pieces and, to accommodate this, each location will be commissioned from a different artist. Since any artist can only be commissioned to produce one sculpture, there will be two separate awards at the end of this procurement process.
