Summary of the contracting process

The Ivers Parish Council bought a three-year supply, installation and servicing package for festive and Christmas lighting. The scheme covers three village centres, including lights on lamp and heritage columns, shop fronts and mistletoe stars; lighting for three natural trees; and six additional lamp columns at three separate sites. The work combines supply of Christmas tree lights with installation and ongoing servicing. The buying organisation is The Ivers Parish Council, based in Iver. The published delivery-address data spans regions across England, but the described lighting scheme is for village centres and sites served by the council.

The procurement is complete: Sparkx Limited was selected, and the contract is active and signed. The council used an open, below-threshold competition. The estimated tender value was £60,000 excluding VAT (£72,000 including VAT); the awarded contract value is £40,860 excluding VAT (£49,032 including VAT). The award date is not recorded. The contract runs from 21 November 2026 to 6 January 2029, with a possible one-year extension if the council cannot secure a suitable supplier for a further three-year contract. The council may add further lighting options after reviewing the scheme in Year 1. Only tenders meeting the exact specification were considered, with the contract awarded on best value. The tender deadline was 31 May 2026.

This award shows demand from The Ivers Parish Council for a supplier able to provide, install and service a coordinated seasonal lighting scheme across village centres and additional sites. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to meet a detailed, exact specification covering varied lighting locations and features: lamp and heritage columns, shop fronts, mistletoe stars, natural trees and additional lamp columns. The work calls for capability across product supply, installation and continuing maintenance, rather than supply alone. The council assessed compliant tenders on best value, so suppliers would need to demonstrate how their proposal delivers value while satisfying every specified requirement. The awarded supplier is an SME, and the original lot was marked as suitable for SMEs.
