Summary of the contracting process

Pickering Town Council has completed a procurement process for a festive lighting service provision, aimed at enhancing the Christmas lighting display in Pickering, United Kingdom (YO18 8AA). This three-year contract, which was awarded on 28th April 2025, involves both the installation of council-owned lights and hired lights, falling under the category of exterior goods. The procurement's legal basis aligns with the UKPGA 2023/54, and the process was conducted below the threshold with an unspecified procurement method. The contract period is scheduled from 1st June 2025 to 31st May 2028, with a milestone signature date set for 12th May 2025.

The tender provides substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in festive and exterior lighting products, particularly those equipped to handle large-scale installations. Christmas Plus Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Keighley, successfully secured the contract, highlighting the potential for SMEs to engage with local government contracts. Such opportunities could benefit businesses focused on creative solutions in holiday lighting and related supply chain services, as they can leverage this visibility to enhance their portfolios and establish long-term partnerships with sub-central government bodies like Pickering Town Council.
