Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process managed by Hartlepool Borough Council pertains to a fireworks display titled "Fireworks Display 2025." This is categorised under goods, specifically fireworks, and is slated for delivery in the UKC11 region, which includes Hartlepool in the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract having been awarded without competition under a direct procurement method, as it is an exemption to the normal contract procedure rules. The event is scheduled for the 1st of November 2025, and the contract details were signed on the 8th of October 2025. The supplier, Reaction Fireworks, was chosen due to their expertise and previous experience in safely managing similar events.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the production and management of large-scale fireworks displays. The nature of the procurement suggests opportunities for businesses that excel in niche markets with specific expertise rather than broad service offerings. Reaction Fireworks, a small to medium-sized enterprise, exemplifies the ideal candidate for such opportunities, particularly due to their proven track record in delivering professional-grade fireworks events. Such contracts can help similar businesses reinforce their reputations, expand client networks, and showcase their capabilities in handling specialised large-scale events.
