UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath & North East Somerset Council procured lighting consultancy services for phase 2 of the BWR planning application. The work is a professional consultancy service concerned with lighting design and advice to support the planning application; the stated classification places it within architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. Delivery is in Bath and North East Somerset. The council is the buying organisation, and the selected supplier is LIGHTR Lighting Design Limited, a London-based lighting design company. The requirement is focused on lighting consultancy for this specific planning phase, rather than a general lighting installation or supply contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council used a below-threshold direct award without competition. LIGHTR Lighting Design Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 January 2029; the tender description gives a planned start of 1 June 2026, but explains that the recorded date was adjusted to the signing date because of system limitations. The initial 32-month term is valued at £26,970 excluding VAT (£32,364 including VAT), with no extensions available. The process was arranged as a single lot. No evaluation criteria are set out in the available procurement details.

This award shows that Bath & North East Somerset Council buys specialist lighting consultancy to support planning applications, with the requirement handled through a direct award below the applicable threshold. A credible supplier for comparable work would need demonstrable lighting design and consultancy capability, and the experience to advise on lighting as part of a planning application. The award went to a specialist lighting design business, indicating that focused expertise may be relevant to this type of requirement. Suppliers should be able to deliver advice for a defined project phase and work in the Bath and North East Somerset area. The contract is modest in scale and has a defined term, so firms suited to targeted consultancy assignments are a closer fit than suppliers geared to large installation programmes.
