## Summary

Bristol City Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the "LED Luminaires & CMS System - Soft Market Test". This initiative aims to gather information on the potential supply of LED luminaires and a management system (CMS) that will work with existing and new street lighting infrastructure across the city. The engagement end date for interested bidders is set for 14th October 2020. The procurement process falls within the IT services sector, specifically under categories such as street-lighting equipment and maintenance services, with a total estimated value of £13,000,000. The geographical scope is focused on the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This soft market test presents a significant opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the technology and street lighting sectors to influence the forthcoming procurement process. Companies specialising in LED technology, street lighting equipment, and related installation or maintenance services are particularly well-suited to participate. Engagement in this procurement exercise may enhance their visibility and credibility, potentially leading to future contracts as Bristol City Council moves toward a formal procurement phase for the strategic replacement programme of city-wide street lighting.

## Notice

For the potential future supply of a CMS system to operate in conjunction with replacement LED luminaires and some existing LED & HID Luminaires.
