The procurement falls under the services industry, specifically involving Christmas tree lights (CPV code 31522000). The tender is open and set to close on 16 August 2019. The overall budget for this initiative does not exceed £19,000 annually, and it aims to support the evening economy while encouraging foot traffic in the town centre. Interested bidders must apply through the SE Shared Services Procurement eSourcing portal. This tender presents a prime opportunity for local businesses and lighting service providers to engage in the festive retail market, potentially boosting their clientele during the holiday season. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in festive decorations and event management are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as they can provide innovative and tailored solutions to meet the council's objectives. Participation in this project could enhance businesses' visibility and establish long-term relationships with the local authority and the community. ## Notice Horsham is a medieval market town in the heart of rural West Sussex and boasts over 60 restaurants and cafes and a good range of shopping in a compact and easily accessible centre, much of which is pedestrian friendly.
