Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council procured the supply and delivery of LED road lighting lanterns, classified as road lights. The goods are intended for use in the council’s road-lighting service, with delivery in Cheshire, England. This is a goods procurement rather than a construction or maintenance service. The council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement covers a single package of road-lighting equipment. Suppliers active in manufacturing, distributing or supplying LED lanterns for highways and other outdoor public lighting will find the subject matter directly relevant. The requirement concerns physical lighting products and their delivery, so businesses whose main offer is consultancy, installation, civil engineering or unrelated electrical equipment are less closely aligned unless they also supply suitable road-lighting lanterns.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Six bids were received, with four reaching the final stage, including three from SMEs. The award was made to ZG Lighting (UK) Limited on 1 June 2026 for £3,037,346 excluding VAT, or £3,644,816 including VAT. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2028, with an option to extend for two further years until 2 August 2030. The original estimated value was £2,200,000 excluding VAT, or £2,640,000 including VAT. Evaluation weighted whole-life cost at 90% and social value at 10%. The contract is active and above the relevant threshold.

This award demonstrates established demand from Lancashire County Council for a substantial supply of LED road-lighting lanterns, delivered as a single requirement rather than divided into multiple packages. Three SMEs reached the final stage, showing that smaller specialist suppliers can compete alongside larger businesses. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to compliant LED road-lighting products, robust order fulfilment and delivery capability, and the capacity to support a council-wide supply arrangement. Evidence of reliable service, product quality, accurate delivery scheduling and clear management reporting would be important. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate measurable social value and control whole-life cost, since these were the evaluation priorities. Performance would be monitored through delivery, quality, service, social value, reporting and delivery-schedule measures.
