Summary of the contracting process

City of York Council commissioned structural and visual assessments of its street-lighting assets in accordance with GN22. The work covers inspection and testing of street-lighting columns and associated lighting infrastructure across York, supporting the council’s assessment of the condition and structural safety of its street-lighting assets. This is a specialist technical inspection service rather than the supply or installation of lighting equipment. The requirement is categorised as services, with the relevant areas being street-lighting columns and technical inspection and testing. The buyer is City of York Council, a sub-central public authority, and the delivery location is York, United Kingdom. The contract was awarded to M.P.H. Inspection Services Limited, a York-based small and medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. One lot was evaluated on the most advantageous tender using a 60:40 price-to-quality ratio. The tender deadline was 16 April 2026 at 12:00, following an enquiry deadline of 9 April 2026 at 12:00. The award to M.P.H. Inspection Services Limited was active on 15 July 2026, when the contract was signed. The contract value is £168,661.25 including VAT (£202,393.50 gross), for a period from 15 July 2026 to 5 July 2028. Two one-year extensions are available, giving a maximum contract end date of 5 July 2030. The procurement was below the relevant threshold.

This award indicates a defined requirement for suppliers able to inspect and assess street-lighting columns and other lighting assets against GN22, combining structural expertise with systematic visual assessment and technical reporting. A credible competitor would need suitable inspection personnel, equipment and methods for assessing public street-lighting infrastructure, together with the competence to identify structural or condition issues clearly and produce evidence that supports the council’s asset-management decisions. Experience of comparable local-authority or highways lighting inspections would help demonstrate relevant understanding, safe working practices and the ability to cover an asset network consistently. The evaluation also shows that technical quality carried substantial weight alongside price, so suppliers would need to present a robust delivery methodology, assurance arrangements and clear reporting rather than compete on cost alone.
