Summary of the contracting process

City of Doncaster Council commissioned a survey of the high masts on both the airside and landside of Doncaster Sheffield Airport land. This is a surveying services requirement, focused specifically on inspecting high-mast installations across the airport site. The work is delivered in Doncaster. The scope is described as survey work only; it does not include mast maintenance, repairs or replacement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Luceco plc (Kingfisher Lighting). The Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 8 June 2026 and runs from 15 June to 30 November 2026. Its value is £48,011.89 excluding VAT, or £57,614.27 including VAT. The procurement was arranged as one lot. The published information identifies surveying services as the requirement; it does not set out evaluation criteria for comparing competing bids.

For suppliers considering similar work for Doncaster Council, this award demonstrates demand for specialist high-mast surveying across both airside and landside airport locations. A credible supplier would need the technical capability and equipment to inspect high-mast assets in an operational airport environment, as well as the capacity to cover installations across the site. Experience working safely around airport operations and coordinating access across airside and landside areas would be relevant to demonstrating delivery capability. The awarded supplier is a large lighting business, indicating that this requirement was placed with an established provider in the lighting sector. The scope here was survey-only, so relevant surveying expertise, rather than a broader maintenance or construction offer, is central.
