Summary of the contracting process

The Armagh City Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council conducted a public procurement process titled "Purchase of Urban Centre Seasonal Lighting," classified under the CPV code 31500000 for lighting equipment and electric lamps. This procurement aimed to supply and deliver seasonal lighting for urban centres starting November/December 2025. The procurement method used was an open procedure, covered by GPA agreements, ensuring fair competition. The tender status is complete, with a contract awarded on May 6, 2025, to AJCG LIMITED. The process concluded with an active contract valued at £107,100, signed on the same day. Although the tender stage was initially active from February 21, 2025, with submission deadlines ending on March 24, 2025, the council eventually awarded the tender to AJCG LIMITED, setting the foundation for future execution within the region UKN07.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities in the electrical and lighting sectors, particularly beneficial for suppliers capable of delivering large-scale seasonal lighting solutions. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in innovative design and competitive pricing will find this tender particularly attractive, given the award criteria of 40% for the proposed design and 60% for price. The open procedure employed facilitates transparent competition, allowing businesses from the UK and potentially non-EU regions to submit electronic bids, as evidenced by the process receiving both local and one non-EU foreign bid. Overall, suppliers with a strong portfolio in electrical machinery and a commitment to quality design will have an edge in such procurement rounds conducted by regional authorities such as Armagh City Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council.
