Summary of the contracting process

Chepstow Town Council is engaging in a procurement process for the design, supply, installation, and removal of Christmas Illuminations for the years 2025 to 2030. Within the industry category of electrical machinery and other community services, this procurement offers services across Chepstow, United Kingdom. The tender stage commenced on 13 June 2025, with interested parties able to submit inquiries until 4 July 2025. Proposal submissions were due by 25 July 2025, with the contracting period expected to start from 1 September 2025 and conclude on 30 January 2030. Although the procurement stage for the illuminations was initially active, the recent decision led to its cancellation on 14 August 2025 due to delays requiring eyebolt testing on private properties.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in lighting and electrical services, particularly those with experience in working with local authorities. With an open competition procurement method and a project value of £135,000, businesses can leverage their technical capabilities, energy efficiency, and quality of design to stand out. Analysing the criteria for awarding contracts—which includes cost, quality, technical capability, and relevant experience—provides a strategic approach for businesses to position themselves favourably. This procurement could be an avenue for growth and visibility among similar upcoming tenders in the public sector.
