Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council has completed the procurement process for the installation of festive lights, an initiative aimed at revitalising the city centre during the festive period. This project falls under the "works" category and was executed under a direct procurement method, specifically "Below threshold - without competition," suggesting targeted selection rather than competitive bidding. The operation, classified under the CPV code for the installation of outdoor illumination equipment, is set within the UKH11 region, with key dates including the contract signing on 31st July 2025 and a project execution timeline from 1st October 2025 to 31st August 2027. The procurement process has reached the award and contract stage, ensuring timely delivery before the festive season.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in lighting and electrical installations to demonstrate their capabilities and enhance their service portfolios in municipal contracts. With the successful bid by Lighting & Illumination Technology Experience Limited, a Burnley-based SME, the contract underscores the potential for small and medium enterprises to secure public projects even in a direct award context. Enterprises specialising in festive and decorative lighting installations are particularly well-suited for such opportunities, allowing them to consolidate their position within the industry and potentially leverage local authority collaborations into further regional ventures.
