Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council is initiating a tender for the installation of Christmas lights displays in Prudhoe. The planning stage has commenced, with the contract valued at £19,530, spanning a three-year period from 1st April 2017 to 31st March 2020. The contractor will be responsible for the installation, dismantling, testing, and maintenance of the lights, in addition to storing the equipment each year following the seasonal displays. Interested parties should note that the procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with future notices expected as the deadline approaches.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations with experience in lighting installations and event management. Businesses specialising in exterior lighting solutions and technical installations could particularly benefit from this contract, as they will need to address all installation requirements and respond to any emergent issues during the display season. Additionally, companies that can ensure timely presence for events, such as the Christmas lights switch-on, will be well suited to compete for this contract.
