Summary of the contracting process

Stotfold Town Council procured maintenance of 257 street lights and replacement of LED lamps across two phases. The work covers street-lighting equipment, columns and lamps, with construction work also included. The council is the buyer, and the work is for its street-lighting network in Stotfold, England. This is a practical maintenance and upgrade requirement for electrical contractors able to service public street lighting and carry out lamp replacement. The scope also allows for replacement of columns where they are damaged beyond repair. The procurement was categorised as goods, while the awarded work was categorised as works.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through an open competition below the applicable threshold. High Level Electrics Ltd was selected, and the contract was signed on 30 April 2026. The contract value is £160,000 gross. Its initial term runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2029, with a possible two-year extension if service levels are met; the stated maximum end date is 30 April 2031. Bids were due by 19 January 2026, and questions by 7 January 2026. Evaluation required pass/fail compliance with the specification and council policies, then assessed method statement quality and robustness (10%), price and value for money (30%), sustainability and energy reduction (15%), health and safety (20%), relevant experience and references (15%), and social value and environmental impact (10%).

This award shows a local authority’s demand for ongoing street-light maintenance alongside phased LED replacement, with provision for replacing columns that cannot be repaired. A credible competitor would need the electrical capability and operational capacity to maintain a network of 257 lights, manage planned replacement work and respond reliably to emergency incidents. The contract’s service expectations include attending emergencies within four hours and routine faults within seven days, so responsive call-out coverage and effective fault management are important. Suppliers should be able to provide compliance materials promptly and deliver integrity test results for columns. Strong method statements, robust health and safety arrangements, relevant street-lighting experience and references would support a competitive case, alongside credible energy-reduction, sustainability and social-value proposals.
