UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council commissioned outdoor lighting works at Waterfront Park: supplying and installing LED lighting on four mature riverside trees and several smaller feature trees. The work covers the lighting equipment and its installation, testing and commissioning. The delivery location is Waterfront Park in Stockton-on-Tees. This is a parks and public-realm lighting requirement, rather than a general lighting supply contract: the equipment must be suitable for illuminating trees outdoors, and the supplier must also carry out the installation and bring the system into operation.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Powercare Electrical Services Limited. The council used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold; it said a competitive process would delay delivery beyond the required timescales. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 8 January 2027. Its value is £54,100 excluding VAT (£64,920 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the park tree lighting works. The published procurement data does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions.

For suppliers considering comparable work for Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, this award demonstrates demand for specialist outdoor electrical capability that combines sourcing LED equipment with installation, testing and commissioning in a public park. A credible competitor would need to show experience delivering safe, reliable illumination on mature trees and smaller feature trees, and the practical ability to coordinate equipment supply with site installation and commissioning. The original requirement involved a relatively focused, single-site package rather than a large, multi-location programme. The council linked its route to market to the urgency of delivery, so a supplier's ability to mobilise promptly and manage equipment lead times would be commercially relevant when this specific requirement next arises.
