The planning stage has commenced, with the contract valued at £19,530, spanning a three-year period from 1st April 2017 to 31st March 2020. The contractor will be responsible for the installation, dismantling, testing, and maintenance of the lights, in addition to storing the equipment each year following the seasonal displays. Interested parties should note that the procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with future notices expected as the deadline approaches. This tender represents an excellent opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations with experience in lighting installations and event management. Businesses specialising in exterior lighting solutions and technical installations could particularly benefit from this contract, as they will need to address all installation requirements and respond to any emergent issues during the display season. Additionally, companies that can ensure timely presence for events, such as the Christmas lights switch-on, will be well suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice This is a 3 year contract for which the successful contractor will be required to dismantle the lights each January and store them until the end of the contract; 31st March 2020. Contractors are expected to include within their tender all costs associated with installation, dismantling, testing and programming. Any repairs or additional lights required would be quoted and costs approved prior to being carried out/purchased. Contractors are expected to be able to attend promptly in the event of a fault, or damage occurring during the display period. Contractors are expected to attend the Christmas lights switch-on event where possible, last Friday in November. The successful contractor will be required to collect and store the lights from April 2017. During this time they should be fully tested and ready to be installed prior to the Christmas Lights switch-on which is usually on the last Friday of November each year. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6075033b-bec4-46eb-b057-39dbdbbbcfd1 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Jan 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 16 Jan 2017 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2017 - 31 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £19,530 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | PRUDHOE | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE42 5AA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC42 Northumberland | | Local authority | Northumberland | | Electoral ward | Prudhoe South | | Westminster constituency | Hexham | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting ### Codes - 31522000 - Christmas tree lights - 31527200 - Exterior lights - 31527260 - Lighting systems ## Release History - 20 Jan 2017 at 14:20 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6075033b-bec4-46eb-b057-39dbdbbbcfd1 - 16 Jan 2017 at 16:44 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6075033b-bec4-46eb-b057-39dbdbbbcfd1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6075033b-bec4-46eb-b057-39dbdbbbcfd1 20th January 2017 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2c6f283b-1b30-4cd9-b95f-d9fdaa648405 Christmas Lights Inventory and technical Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/242dce0c-64a7-4914-a491-7bb4717d2ade - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/86e27a8d-ab66-4a08-91bb-e42f727bef33 Christmas Lights Inventory and technical Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4b3b8502-e504-46a0-8ca3-85e8d8ec767e ## Notice URLs - http://www.parish-council.com/prudhoe ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
