Summary of the contracting process

Inverclyde Council procured road lighting and traffic sign lighting maintenance services for the Inverclyde area, including the council’s road-lighting and illuminated-sign network. The requirement covers ongoing maintenance of public lighting infrastructure rather than construction works alone, with delivery within the boundaries of Inverclyde. The main service classification is street-lighting maintenance (CPV 50232100), alongside classifications covering road-lighting equipment, traffic signs, electrical installation and lighting installation. The contracting authority is Inverclyde Council, based in Greenock. This opportunity is relevant to contractors with operational responsibility for public road-lighting systems, traffic-sign lighting and associated electrical maintenance across a defined local-authority area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. One lot was evaluated on price, weighted at 60%, and service delivery and performance, weighted at 12%; the published criteria also required the relevant tender evidence. The estimated value for the initial two-year period was £1,220,000, described as an estimate rather than guaranteed spend. The contract was awarded to Centregreat Ltd on 16 July 2026, with a contract value of £762,000 and signature on 1 September 2026. The initial contract period is 720 days, with options to extend annually for two further 12-month periods. The procurement records a further publication before expiry, with the timing dependent on whether extensions are used.

This award indicates recurring local-authority demand for contractors able to maintain road lighting and traffic-sign lighting at substantial operational scale. A credible competitor would need two examples from the previous three years showing delivery of contracts of similar size and nature, together with suitably qualified, competent and certified personnel. The buyer required evidence covering supervisory, operational and office-based staff, including CVs, experience, skills, qualifications and accreditations, with records kept current throughout delivery. Financial capacity is also central: bidders had to provide average annual turnover for the previous two years from audited accounts and pass a Dun and Bradstreet assessment. Firms with established public-lighting maintenance capability, robust compliance systems and sufficient financial headroom would be best placed for a future requirement from this buyer.
