What is being bought

Broxbourne Borough Council is inviting proposals from experienced professional sculptors to design, create, and install a permanent public sculpture of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This commission is intended to honour the late Queen with a lifelike, realist figurative sculpture that reflects the Council’s values, enhances the cultural landscape, and becomes a focal point for both the local community and visitors. The sculpture should stand as a world-class work of art, recognised for its artistic merit, while contributing to civic pride, public engagement, and the local economy through tourism. Further details can be found in the tender documents available for download from Supply Hertfordshire, https://in-tendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire/aspx/Home, the Council's electronic tendering portal. The closing date for submissions is noon on Wednesday 4 February 2024 and the deadline for queries is 5pm on Wednesday 21 January 2026, all queries should be made via the portal.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 44. The category anchor is Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) (44000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
