Midland Metropolitan University Hospital Sculpture

Tender description

Your Trust Charity, the registered charity of Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWB), require a provider to design, fabricate and install an inspirational sculpture for the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital providing a welcoming image of strength and valor. The sculpture will feature a figure that hints at Florence Nightingale's "Lady with the Lamp" not only reflective of the parallels between the strife of healthcare workers during the war and during covid but also hinting at the guiding light illuminating the way and providing security for those battling ill health. The piece will be empowering, with the figure standing atop a stylised kite shield base, showing the brave work of healthcare professionals on the frontline in the fight against covid-19 and the subsequent healthcare emergency. They went into the covid pandemic with little personal protection and in effect without a shield. The piece will be free of race, colour and creed reflecting the diversity of the UK and more specifically the intense diversity of the area surrounding the hospital. The piece will be enriching, offering some recognition and thanks to the hospital staff working tirelessly but also to the patients and families attending the hospital bringing some light into what may be difficult visits.
