Summary of the contracting process

Inverclyde Council procured road lighting and traffic sign lighting maintenance services within Inverclyde. The requirement covers maintaining street-lighting assets and traffic signs, including street-lighting equipment and columns, together with installation and electrical works for illumination and signalling systems. It is a public-sector service contract managed by the council, with delivery across the council’s boundaries. The work is relevant to contractors experienced in maintaining and repairing road lighting networks, traffic-sign lighting and associated electrical infrastructure. It also suits businesses able to manage lighting assets, materials and sustainability requirements, coordinate mobilisation and transition, and deliver measurable service performance and social value outcomes. Electronic ordering, payment and invoicing arrangements apply during contract delivery.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Centregreat Ltd was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 1 September 2026. The contract value is £762,000. The tender’s estimated value was £1,220,000 for the initial two-year term, based on previous annual spend and not guaranteed expenditure. The initial contract period is 720 days, with options to extend annually for two further 12-month periods. The tender deadline was 17 July 2026 at 3pm, following an amendment from 16 July, and the award period began at that time. Evaluation gave 60% to price and 40% to quality, covering service performance, asset and sustainability management, technical resources, mobilisation, fair work and social value.

This outcome identifies the supplier profile Inverclyde Council accepted for a substantial road and traffic-sign lighting maintenance requirement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in street-lighting maintenance, electrical installation, illumination and signalling systems, and the management of lighting columns and related materials. Evidence of dependable service delivery, performance monitoring, technical resources, asset management and sustainability would be important. Suppliers should also be able to plan mobilisation and transition, meet Fair Work First expectations, and propose clear social value outcomes supported by a robust methodology. Financial resilience is a significant qualification issue: the council assessed Dun & Bradstreet risk and required audited average turnover information for the preceding two years, with turnover thresholds linked to the risk rating.
