This initiative aimed at acquiring artistic services to design, fabricate, and install an artwork in collaboration with the North Clyde Archaeological Society. The artwork is to be located in Helensburgh and integrated into the museum's display. The tender was executed using an open procedure, with the procurement classified under services focusing on general public services. The award was made to Beltane Studios Ltd, a small enterprise situated in Peebles, with a contract signed on 24 February 2026 at the value of £5,500. The contract period involves delivering the artwork within 180 days of the signing date. This project was an exciting opportunity for businesses in the arts and crafts sector, particularly those specialising in public art installations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in artistic collaborations and experience in public service delivery were well-suited to apply. The open procurement method facilitated a fair competition, allowing local and non-EU foreign bids, thus ensuring a diversity of artistic expressions. Businesses looking to leverage their creative services for regional authorities can find growth prospects in similar initiatives, strengthening their portfolio in the community art sector and enhancing their visibility within public sector procurements. ## Notice Argyll and Bute Council, in conjunction with the Helensburgh Outdoor Museum Design Panel, would like to procure artistic services to work in collaboration with North Clyde Archaeological Society, to design, fabricate and install an artwork based on their concept. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Argyll and Bute Council, in conjunction with the Helensburgh Outdoor Museum Design Panel, would like to procure artistic services to work in collaboration with North Clyde Archaeological Society, to design, fabricate and install an artwork based on their concept.
