## Summary

Knaresborough Town Council is seeking tenders for the design, supply, installation, maintenance, dismantling, storage, testing, and operation of its Festive Lighting display for the upcoming three years. This procurement falls under the category of "Lighting equipment and electric lamps" and has a budget of £40,000 for the 2020/21 financial year. The contract period will commence on 1st June 2020 and conclude on 31st May 2023. The tender, which follows an open procurement method, had an end date for submissions on 12th March 2020. The annual switch-on event for the festive lights typically happens on a Friday in late November, with additional services required for spring/summer bunting and event banners. Notably, the opportunity is situated in Knaresborough, England, with a designated postal code of HG5 0HW.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in lighting design and installation, particularly those that can contribute creative solutions while preserving local heritage and aesthetics. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in festive décor and event management would be particularly well-suited for this opportunity, as Knaresborough Town Council is actively engaging various suppliers to enhance the town’s festive atmosphere. Participation in this project could serve as a catalyst for further business growth, especially for companies looking to establish or expand their footprint in public sector contracts.

## Notice

Knaresborough Town Council (KTC) procures and manages the Festive Lighting display in Knaresborough with the aim of enhancing the town at Christmas time to make it a more enjoyable environment for residents, shoppers and tourists. 2020 sees the end of its current Festive lighting contract and with it, the end of the lease of the majority of its current Festive lights. Whilst KTC has been very happy with its Festive light design, this gives KTC the opportunity to consider a new display for the next three years, to suitably complement the lighting owned by the town and to reflect the market town heritage and atmosphere in the conservation area. KTC is seeking suitably experienced companies to tender for design, supply, installation, maintenance, dismantling, storage, testing and operation of Christmas Lighting. The focus of the illumination scheme is the annual 'switch on' event, the date for which is determined early in the year and is usually on a Friday in late November (Bright Friday) and the chosen Contractor would need to be present at this event to facilitate the lighting of the Christmas display in the market place. In addition, from time to time, KTC has a requirement for spring/summer bunting to be erected/dismantled in the town and also for event banners to be erected/dismantled across the High Street. The chosen Contractor would be expected to provide this service upon request at a price as set out in its tender. Additional information: Important information relating to the tender can be viewed on the Town Council website via the link provided. Frequently Asked Questions: Budget: Council allocated PS30K 20/21. Budget set annually, but Council aware Agreement for Services (contract) will be binding for 3 yrs. Time Clocks: Current number in situ/state of repair unknown, suggest quote per clock for replacement. North Yorkshire County Council compliance - please see details on Town Council website.
