Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council has completed a procurement process for the project titled "Palmer Lane - External Lighting," focusing on the industry category of goods, specifically exterior lights. The procurement involved supplying and installing lighting products, alongside conducting electrical testing and certification. Based in Coventry, West Midlands, this procurement progressed to the award and contracting stage with the mandate finalised and contract signed on 18 June 2025, active until 31 October 2026. Utilising a limited competition procurement method, the process was below the threshold and thus involved a restricted pool of participants. The awarded contract was worth a gross value of GBP 108,360.

This public contract presents opportunities for businesses involved in lighting design, manufacturing, and installation, especially those that specialise in outdoor or exterior lighting applications. Companies such as Candela Traditional Lighting Limited, the awarded supplier, which is a large-scale enterprise in the Birmingham area, have demonstrated their capability to meet such procurement requirements. Businesses focusing on providing robust electrical testing and certification services may also see this sector as a promising avenue for growth, owing to the technical scope of services demanded by councils and other public authorities. The procurement offers a competitive edge for businesses able to deliver high-quality products and services within the constraints of limited competition and meticulous public procurement guidelines.
