Summary of the contracting process

Hailsham Town Council is procuring street lighting remedial works across various locations in Hailsham. The requirement covers the repair and replacement of lighting columns, lanterns, pole boxes, brackets, doors, photocells and secondary isolation units, together with earthing upgrades, pruning to enable access, and associated electrical and structural works. This is a public works opportunity, including construction work and the repair, maintenance and associated services related to roads and other equipment (CPV 45000000 and 50230000). The council is the buying organisation and requires a contractor to manage the repairs as a single lot. The scope suits businesses delivering street lighting maintenance, electrical repairs, structural remedial works and associated highway or public-realm services.

The procurement has reached tender: Hailsham Town Council invited offers through an open procedure. Tenders were to be submitted by 4 September 2026 at 12:00, with award decision scheduled by 2 October 2026 at 23:59. The contract period is 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2029. The estimated gross value is £400,000. The requirement is a single lot, with contractor controls over repairs cited as the reason for not dividing it. Electronic submission is allowed and tenders must be in English. Evaluation is based on price at 70% and quality at 30%. Price is assessed using the total tendered price, with the lowest compliant price receiving the highest score. Quality is assessed through the proposed delivery approach and method statement.

This opportunity suits suitably qualified street lighting contractors able to undertake electrical, structural and associated remedial works in a public-realm environment. Strong bidders will be able to demonstrate relevant experience, competent staffing, appropriate equipment and resources, and the capacity to manage a multi-year programme of repairs. The quality submission must explain safe and efficient delivery, health and safety arrangements, traffic and pedestrian management, programming, quality control and communication with the council. It must also address the management of priority Category 1 items and arrangements for resolving defects or other issues during the contract. Businesses able to minimise disruption, work reliably to required timescales and coordinate varied repair activities should be well placed to compete. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.
