The project has an estimated budget of £300,000 and is expected to commence on 31st October 2022, concluding by 31st December 2022. Contractors will need to comply with specific technical and environmental standards as outlined in the tender documentation. This opportunity is particularly suitable for businesses specialising in street lighting installation, civil engineering, and environmental management, especially those with experience in highmast installations and night-time operational work. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, given the competency and experience requirements stated in the tender. By engaging with this contract, businesses can not only enhance their portfolio but also contribute to the improvement of public infrastructure in Gloucester. ## Notice On Metz Way Gloucester, Gloucestershire County Council (GCC), Has 9no. existing 30m Highmast lighting units which have been insitu for over 20 years, as they have exceeded their structural design life and electrically, they are inefficient as they use 8no. 400w High Pressure Sodium fittings on each Highmast to illuminate the highway. As a result of the above, Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) have decided to replace four of the Highmasts units with shorter 20m Highmast units which will be less obtrusive and more energy efficient. These new units shall be manufactured with a flange plate that will enable the new Highmast to utilise the existing Highmast bases. The other five Highmast units are to be removed and existing bases protected.

They must satisfy themselves that they can complete all the "Works" as specified in this document in a safe manner. The site inspection should focus on issues like the existing terrain, the existing Highmast Bases, the adjacent busy Rail Tracks, and the overgrown sloping grassed banks etc, all of which will have a factor in how the installation works will or can be undertaken. Due to the nature of the work involved on this scheme, GCC believe the Contractor undertaking this work should be Competent and Experienced in all aspects of Highmast installation, street lighting installation and be able to undertake all aspects of Civils works required (trenching, and ducting) etc. The Contractor will also be required to undertake most of the work at night or during "off peak" hours during the day, to reduce the disruption on a busy "Traffic Sensitive" main road.
