Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, a public authority operating at the sub-central government level, has completed the procurement process for the supply of Twinkly Products intended for festive lighting. The procurement, an open competition method held below the threshold, targeted suppliers of Christmas tree lights, classified under the CPV scheme. The contract was awarded to Festive Lights Limited, based in Chorley, and is set to commence on 20th October 2025. The contract, valued at £150,000 with a potential maximum gross amount of £180,000, will span an initial period of two years with the possibility of a 12-month extension, aiming to conclude by the end of September 2027, with delivery centred in the region of UKE41 (United Kingdom).

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in festive lighting or related products, especially small to medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of meeting public authority contracts. The tender required a combination of competitive pricing and a strong response to the outlined specification, along with considerations for social value, demonstrating the importance of those components for successful bids. Companies with capabilities to deliver innovative lighting solutions that enhance public spaces during festive seasons could leverage such opportunities to gain visibility and experience within sub-central government markets, fostering long-term growth potential in the public procurement sector.
