Summary of the contracting process

West Bletchley Council in Milton Keynes has completed a procurement process for the Christmas Festive Lights 2025 - 2027 project, aimed at decorating the parish of West Bletchley. This procurement falls under the services category and was conducted using an open, below-threshold competition method. The contract, valued at £69,000 excluding VAT over three years, has been awarded to Sparkx Limited. The procurement process was managed under the legal framework of UKPGA 2023/54. Key dates include the contract's start on 1st August 2025 and its potential extension up to 31st July 2030 based on performance reviews.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in lighting equipment and installation services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in electrical installations or festive decorations can benefit from similar contracts, particularly those in the South East of England, where the project is located. The contract offers stability with the prospect of renewal, providing a platform for SMEs to showcase their quality and cost efficiency, given that the award criteria were equally weighed between these factors. Such projects support business growth by fostering long-term partnerships with local authorities, encouraging competitive bidding and innovation in service delivery.
