## Summary

The procurement process conducted by Suffolk Coastal District Council and Waveney District Council involved the structural testing of street light columns, categorised under street-lighting columns and public utilities. This tender, valued at £49,088.27, utilised a direct, single tender action method, below the threshold in the procurement stage tagged as "award." Key dates include the contract period starting on 2nd February 2026 and ending on 13th April 2026, with the award date set on 2nd October 2025. The services are to be delivered in the East of England region, United Kingdom.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in structural engineering, particularly those engaged in infrastructure and public utilities services, to expand their operations and build a partnership with local councils. As both SMEs and VCSE organisations are considered suitable for this contract, it might appeal to smaller enterprises seeking to improve their portfolio in public sector contracts. With Suffolk County Council already involved as the supplier, enterprises looking to collaborate or compete could benefit from insights into local government procurement practices.
