Summary of the contracting process

Scotland Excel is buying a framework for the supply and delivery of street-lighting materials across Scotland, on behalf of Scotland’s 32 local authorities and eligible associate and public-sector members. The requirement covers LED lanterns; galvanised tubular steel and aluminium lighting columns; sundry items including cable and wiring; traffic bollards and signs; and maintenance components. Deliveries will be to locations within the participating councils’ and members’ geographical boundaries across Scotland. Scotland Excel is the central purchasing body and the framework may be used by councils, social landlords, universities and colleges, the Scottish Prison Service, NHS authorities, Transport Scotland and Scottish Government bodies where access arrangements apply. The main category is street-lighting equipment (CPV 34928500).

The process has reached tender: Scotland Excel invited offers through an open procedure using electronic submission. It is a framework with an indicative maximum of 30 participants, divided into six lots: LED lanterns (£31m), galvanised steel columns (£2m), aluminium columns (£7m), sundry items and cable/wiring (£4m), traffic bollards and signs (£2m), and maintenance components (£2m); the overall estimated value is £48m. Each lot has a 1,440-day contract period, with no renewal or options. Bids were due by 1 September 2026 at 12:00, and were to remain valid until 29 January 2027 at 23:59. Evaluation is 70% price and 30% technical quality. Variants are not allowed and a minimum bid requirement applies to every lot.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of street-lighting and associated electrical infrastructure products that can supply one or more of the six product areas. Suppliers need the capacity to deliver nationally across participating Scottish authorities and to support framework call-offs, with subcontracting arrangements managed and disclosed where relevant. Each lot is assessed separately, so businesses may compete for a focused product area rather than the whole requirement. Required organisational capability includes quality-management, health-and-safety and environmental-management procedures, with detailed minimum standards set in the tender attachments. Suppliers must demonstrate financial viability and sustainability, and hold or commit to obtain employers’ liability and public/products liability insurance of £10m, plus statutory motor insurance with £5m cover for property damage. Community-benefit commitments form part of the scored technical response.
