Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council bought 700 LED lanterns for delivery in various batches. This is a goods supply contract for road-lighting lanterns, classified under CPV 34928500. Deliveries are made to a nominated store within North Ayrshire, which may be operated by a private contractor or by Building Services at Portland Place; the exact delivery point is confirmed when each order is placed. The council is the buying organisation. The requirement covers the supply and physical delivery of the lanterns rather than installation or wider lighting works. The lantern types and required performance are defined through the tender documents and associated lighting design submissions.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Five electronic bids were received, and Orangetek Ltd was selected for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 6 July 2026 for £113,348 including the published currency, with a contract period from 20 July 2026 to 31 March 2028. The original estimated value was £140,000. Evaluation required suitable professional or trade registration, a minimum specific annual turnover of £140,000 for the previous three years, and specified insurance: £10 million employers’ liability, £5 million public liability, £5 million product liability and appropriate motor insurance. Bidders also had to provide two comparable supply examples, customer references, product data sheets and lighting reports.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for road-lighting suppliers able to provide several hundred LED lanterns in batches and manage delivery into a council-controlled or contractor-operated store. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable experience on two comparable supply contracts of similar value, size and scope, supported by satisfactory customer references. Product capability is important: suppliers must be able to provide technical data and lighting reports showing that each lantern type meets the specified road-lighting scenarios. Strong candidates would also have robust quality, health and safety, and environmental management arrangements, such as ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 or accepted equivalents. Supply-chain resilience, climate action and effective subcontractor payment controls are also relevant.
