Tender: Public Art Commission for 2–4 Works at Leighton Leisure Centre – Artist(s) Wanted
Released 11 months ago
About
The council is seeking an artist or artists to create 2–4 public artworks at the new Leighton Leisure Centre, funded from S106 public realm money. The procurement is a two-stage process with shortlisted artists paid a set sum to cover their design days; the works may be awarded as one contract or split into 2–3 contracts. The Council will provide support and publish questions and responses to ensure a consistent approach. Questions must be submitted via the In-tend electronic tendering system by 19th December 2025, and completed quotations and attachments must be uploaded electronically via the My Return section of In-tend by 5th January 2026 at 09:00; quotations submitted through the correspondence facility or received after the deadline will be excluded.
This could be valuable for individual artists or artist teams interested in public commissions; key considerations include the two-stage paid design process, funding from S106 public realm money, the possibility the commission is split into one or multiple contracts, and strict In-tend deadlines and submission rules (questions by 19 Dec 2025 and quotations uploaded via My Return by 5 Jan 2026 at 09:00).
