Summary of the contracting process

Bassetlaw District Council commissioned a festive lighting scheme for Worksop and Retford. The service covers the supply and delivery of Christmas tree lights and wider lighting systems, together with street-lighting maintenance. Its purpose is to create attractive, welcoming town-centre environments during the festive period, encouraging footfall, supporting local businesses and improving the visitor experience. The required solution is intended to combine visual impact with reliability, straightforward maintenance, good value for money and the ability to be adapted over time. This is a public-sector lighting and seasonal display requirement, managed through Welland Procurement on the council’s behalf. Businesses with experience in designing, supplying, installing, maintaining or adapting festive and public-realm lighting schemes are within the relevant market.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is complete. Bassetlaw District Council selected Lighting & Illumination Technology Experience Limited for the single lot. The award is recorded as pending, with a standstill period ending on 10 September 2026. The award date is 1 September 2026, and the contract is due to run from 31 October 2026 to 30 October 2029. Its value is £225,000 excluding VAT and £270,000 including VAT. The open procedure was used for a services contract above the relevant threshold. Five bids were received and three reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted quality at 60%, through quality questions, and price at 40%, through a pricing schedule. The lot was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates established demand from Bassetlaw District Council for a multi-year festive lighting service covering Worksop and Retford. A credible future competitor would need to combine creative design with practical delivery, dependable equipment and effective maintenance. Relevant capability includes supplying Christmas and public-realm lighting systems, planning installations safely, keeping displays operational throughout the festive period, and adapting schemes when requirements change. Suppliers should be able to show that their approach supports attractive, welcoming environments while controlling whole-life maintenance and operating costs. The evaluation gives quality greater importance than price, so evidence of design quality, reliability, maintainability and visitor or local-business benefits would be important. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller specialist lighting business could compete if it can demonstrate sufficient delivery capacity and relevant experience.
