Summary of the contracting process

East Staffordshire Borough Council procured a professional illumination installation for Burton upon Trent’s Christmas events programme. The requirement covers the installation of outdoor illumination equipment and associated entertainment services. Delivery is in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire. This is a services procurement for businesses that design, supply, install or manage professional outdoor lighting for public events, particularly seasonal or town-centre programmes. The buyer is East Staffordshire Borough Council, based at the Town Hall in Burton upon Trent. The work is focused on creating and delivering an illumination installation as part of the council’s Christmas events programme, rather than on general construction, routine electrical maintenance or unrelated entertainment provision.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. East Staffordshire Borough Council used a direct award procedure below the applicable threshold and without competition. One award was made to 52 Limited, and the award became active on 20 July 2026. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026, has a gross value of £40,200, and runs from 16 December 2026 to 21 December 2026. The tender was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The completed process concerned one requirement, with the awarded services covering outdoor illumination equipment installation and entertainment services for the Christmas events programme in Burton upon Trent.

This award provides a clear indication of the council’s demand for specialist event illumination delivered at town scale over a concentrated Christmas programme. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would combine professional outdoor lighting installation with the ability to support public entertainment or event delivery. Credible competitors should be able to plan and install temporary illumination safely, coordinate work around a defined events programme, and deliver reliably within a short seasonal operating window. Experience of public-facing Christmas, town-centre or civic events would be relevant, as would the capacity to manage equipment, installation teams and event interfaces in Burton upon Trent. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that a smaller specialist business can meet this type of council requirement.
