In plain English
Caerphilly County Borough Council wants a creative agency, artist or design company to design, build and install a large temporary artwork (or a series of them) in the grounds of Caerphilly Castle and nearby streets. It is meant to celebrate Caerphilly as a stop on Stage 3 of the Tour de France (Welshpool to Cardiff) on 4 July 2027, with an estimated value of £150,000.
What the buyer wants
• Design, fabricate, deliver and install the artwork at Caerphilly Castle by an agreed date before 4 July 2027. • Keep the artwork in place until the Council instructs otherwise, then dismantle, transport and reinstall it at another location within the County Borough. • Work under a 12-month contract, with the relocation date able to change depending on the Council's operational needs. Full requirements are in the Invitation to Tender (ITT) pack.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list specific qualification, insurance or financial thresholds, so the main barrier is likely to be the scale of the job: a single contract worth £150,000 that covers design, large-scale fabrication, installation, and later relocation, and businesses will be judged against published criteria in the ITT pack that were not included here.
Always check the tender documents.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
