Summary of the contracting process

The Fife Council has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "Supply, Installation, Removal, Storage and Maintenance of Festive Lighting Decorations". The contract, awarded to Blachere Illumination UK Ltd, serves multiple communities including Inverkeithing, Rosyth, Kirkcaldy, Dunfermline, and Dalgety Bay in Fife.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the lighting decorations industry would be well-suited to compete for similar future tenders issued by Fife Council.

Procurement Information

Fife Council initially issued in 14/08/2023 a contract notice and tender document through PCSTender. However, upon the return of the tender submissions, it became evident that the specifications did not align with our requirements, and there was insufficient time to initiate a new tender process, given the need to have the festive lights in place by November 18, 2023. As a result, we have decided to award the contract to Blachere for this year's Christmas season, and we plan to reissue the tender in March 2024.
