What is being bought

Test Valley Borough Council seeks an experienced public art consultant to oversee the delivery of a public art scheme for the new Riverside Park development, along Western Avenue in Andover, Hampshire, scheduled to open in Summer 2028. The commission incorporates a co-design phase to ensure the narrative and outcomes of the project are rooted in the local community and encourage a sense of belonging and ownership over the new public site. Desired outputs for the project include both permanent and temporary public art, with opportunities identified for integrated design features, sculpture, events and extension of the Andover Heritage Trail. The delivery timeline for this project in total is three years, from autumn 2025 to autumn 2028.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 92. The category anchor is Artistic and literary creation and interpretation services (92310000); 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.
