Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council, a sub-central government public authority, initiated a procurement process entitled "Street Lighting Maintenance Works" with an open competition method. This project, located in the United Kingdom (region UKD4), aims to deliver comprehensive street lighting maintenance services. The procurement was divided into three active lots focusing on dayworks, maintenance, and civil works. The tender offers a framework agreement without reopening competition. Document publication was on 22 August 2025 with the submission deadline closing on 22 September 2025. Although the final contract award phase was completed in December 2025, it culminated in a cancellation notice for the awards related to lots 1, 2, and 3, published on 19 December 2025.

Despite the cancellation of awards, this tender outlined a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in highway maintenance, street lighting services, and associated civil works. The framework allows appointed suppliers to secure call-off contracts, fostering significant business growth and operational scaling. By participating in various lots, businesses with expertise in operatives and plant provisioning, bulk clean and maintenance inspections, as well as column and sign post installations, can leverage this opportunity to expand their portfolios while engaging in substantial public infrastructure projects in Lancashire.
