## Summary

The Castle Donington Parish Council is in the process of awarding a contract for a Festive Lights Display, focusing on installation services within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This direct procurement method, executed through a single tender action, has an estimated value of £49,696 and is intended for a four-year duration, running from 15th November 2019 to 6th January 2023. The tender period concluded on 24th July 2019, with the switching on of the lights scheduled for the first Friday of December each year, allowing them to remain operational until early January.

This tender presents opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in installation services or festive decorations, particularly those located in or near Castle Donington. Businesses that can handle the logistics of deploying and maintaining festive lighting in public spaces, as well as those with experience in eye bolt testing for secure installations, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The involvement of local suppliers can enhance community engagement and visibility during the festive period, making this a valuable opportunity for growth.

The lights need to be installed and ready for a switch-on event on the first Friday of December and stay switched on until 6 January. They can not go up before the beginning of November due to another event happening in the same area.
