Summary of the contracting process

Dover District Council procured street lighting maintenance works for its area. The awarded requirement includes the installation of road lighting equipment, placing the work in the street lighting and electrical infrastructure sector. The council is the public-sector buyer and the selected supplier is FMJ Solutions LTD, an SME based in Twyford. The work relates to the council’s street lighting assets and infrastructure, with delivery recorded in the South East of England. Businesses active in road lighting installation, maintenance and associated infrastructure works would find this procurement relevant. It is a practical works contract rather than a supply-only opportunity, requiring a contractor able to carry out physical work on public lighting equipment and related roadside infrastructure for a local authority.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was divided into one lot. FMJ Solutions LTD was awarded the contract, which was signed on 24 August 2026. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 28 September 2026. Its value is £13,975 excluding VAT, or £16,770 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies installation of road lighting equipment as the contracted work. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition, and the award relates to the single completed lot. This is therefore an awarded, short-duration council works contract, rather than a current opportunity to submit a tender.

This award indicates demand from Dover District Council for a contractor able to deliver street lighting maintenance and road lighting installation as practical works. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need suitable capability in installing, maintaining and working safely on public street lighting equipment and roadside electrical infrastructure. Relevant operational capacity would include teams able to undertake site-based works across the council’s area, manage short delivery periods and complete work to a local authority’s requirements. Experience of comparable public-sector street lighting assignments would help demonstrate reliability, coordination and understanding of public highway environments. The selected supplier’s SME status also shows that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business with focused street lighting and infrastructure capability.
