- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
- Published justification
Given the choice of subject, the historical
context, and the sensitivity of the cause a
specific sculptor was identified who had
previously produced a statue of two of the
players that the committee sought to replicate
the specific style of in order to ensure the
different statues are linked stylistically.
These statues are sited at Wigan and Wembley
Stadium and the link between the Cardiff and
locations in England is an important part of the
project, representing the journey made by the
players. The design and detail in both these
statues also artistically represented what the
committee were looking to replicate in the
statue for Cardiff.
