Summary of the contracting process

Dumfries and Galloway Council is buying planned and reactive street-lighting and electrical infrastructure works across Dumfries and Galloway. The requirement covers the supply, installation, replacement and removal of lighting columns and lanterns, together with cabling, associated electrical components, duct laying and the civil engineering works needed to support them. This is a public works opportunity for contractors able to deliver street-lighting installation and maintenance alongside related electrical and civil engineering activities. The procurement has one lot covering work at various locations throughout the council area. The council is the buying organisation and will use the works for its street-lighting programme.

The process reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline set by the council is 1 October 2026 at 12:00. Tenders are scheduled to be opened at that time, and the evaluation and award period starts then. The single lot has an estimated value of £1,400,000 including the stated currency, and a contract duration of 1,440 days. Bids must remain valid for 120 days after submission. Variants are not allowed. Submissions must be in English. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, and electronic invoicing is allowed. The requirement includes community benefits and is expected to recur, with a further procurement anticipated before the contract expires.

This opportunity suits established street-lighting, electrical infrastructure and civil engineering contractors with the capability to manage both planned and reactive work across a geographically dispersed council area. Relevant delivery experience would include installing, replacing and removing lighting columns and lanterns, laying ducts, installing cabling and electrical components, and completing associated civil engineering works. Suppliers need sufficient operational capacity to coordinate multiple locations and respond to reactive requirements while maintaining planned programme delivery. The tender requires bidders to provide the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the work. It also includes community-benefit commitments, so bidders should be able to propose and deliver benefits using the council’s community wishlist and benefit menu.
