The fabricator will work in consultation with with the artist and the commissioner, the Greater London Authority. Before fabrication of the statue can commence, planning permission will need to be secured for the installation. The planning application will be drawn up and submitted by an architect with the fabricator supporting this process. The fabricator will therefore be awarded the first stage (Phase 1 - Planning Support) initially and then if (as is expected) the application is successful the second stage - ie (Phase 2 - Fabrication and Phase 3 - Installation) - will then be instructed through the same contract. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** unsuccessful - **CPV codes:** 71550000, 92312000 - **Delivery regions:** UKI - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £895,000 - **Contract Period:** 24/06/2025 to 24/12/2026 - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F013472-2025) - **Last Source Update:** 2025-09-04T15:25:28.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-25T09:08:25.970Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-04fe4d
