Summary of the contracting process

Dumfries and Galloway Council has awarded a contract for the "Design, Supply, Maintenance, Erection and Removal of Festive Lighting in Nithsdale," initially tendered with an active status and classified under the category of commissioning public lighting installations. The contract covers services for festive lighting in various locations, including Dumfries, Thornhill, Sanquhar, Kirkconnel, Kelloholm, and Wanlockhead, with a specific focus on the central region of the UK (UKM92). This contract, valued at £219,416.04 as of 12 September 2025, concluded the procurement process using an open procedure, integrated under EU Directives and covered by the GPA. The opportunity had a strong emphasis on price (70%) and quality (30%), featuring community benefits as part of its criteria.

This contract provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in public lighting installations and event services, particularly those adept at executing design, supply, and maintenance projects. It caters well to SMEs, as demonstrated by LITE, a small to medium-sized enterprise that secured the contract. The open procurement method and electronic submission avenues increase accessibility for potential bidders. The detailed contract terms, which allow for potential extensions and electronic invoicing, further enhance business engagement opportunities. Companies looking to expand their footprint in the regional festive lighting sector, particularly those with sustainable community benefit strategies, will find this contract highly beneficial for growth and regional visibility.
