Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council recently completed an open procurement process for the provision of highways lighting equipment, spanning five distinct lots. The contract involves the operation and maintenance of over 16,000 streetlights and related illuminated signs within the Wrexham County Borough. Key project components include the supply of photocells, isolators, cutouts, cables, fuses, bollards, street lighting columns, lanterns, traffic sign lighting units, and renewable energy lighting. This tender, under the category of goods, was a procedure carried out in compliance with Welsh devolved regulations, with a thorough process of bids evaluated, culminating in award announcements in late March and May 2026. The completed contracts, each valued at £80,000, span a contract period from April 2026 to April 2030. The procurement was regional, targeting the UKL23 area, specifically supporting public authority needs within the sub-central government framework.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in the street lighting and electrical equipment industry to establish a long-term relationship with a local government authority. Given the open procedure of the procurement process, it provides a fair competitive landscape for businesses to propose innovative and cost-effective solutions in street lighting. Companies specialising in sustainable and energy-efficient lighting technologies would find the renewable energy lighting component particularly beneficial for expanding their portfolios and showcasing their capabilities in meeting public sector demands for reduced carbon footprints and enhanced energy efficiency. The structured lots within the tender allow suppliers to focus on specific areas of expertise, whether in components like cables and photocells or broad systems like street lighting columns and lanterns, thus supporting tailored business growth within the public procurement sector.
