Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council has awarded the contract for the "Lighting Network Renewal Works" to Lightways Contractors Limited. This project involves the renewal of the lighting network in Glasgow, including column and luminaire replacement alongside associated underground and overhead works. The procurement was conducted as an open procedure, beginning with a tender phase earlier this year and culminating in the award on 30th June 2026. The works are classified under the industry category of General public services, with a specific focus in the Glasgow region. The contract is active, with a total value of £11,823,229 GBP.

This project presents considerable opportunities for growth, particularly for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) specialised in electrical and civil engineering services that can provide experienced personnel and adequate resources to fulfil large-scale public works. With a prior bidding process that saw substantial engagement, successful firms demonstrated robust technical capabilities and an understanding of public sector requirements. Future similar tenders would be particularly suitable for firms prioritising quality and competitive pricing, alongside a commitment to the Fair Work First principles as highlighted in the award criteria.

The bringing of court proceedings after the standstill period has elapsed and the remedies that are available to the courts are detailed in the Regulations.
