## Summary

The Worcestershire County Council recently completed a procurement process titled "Stourport Bridge Grade 2 Lanterns Replacement - WCC 2025 2278," which falls under the street-lighting equipment industry category. This project involves replacing failed Grade II-listed street lanterns on Stourport Bridge located in the West Midlands. The procurement utilised a direct award process through an exemption, with the contract taking effect on 18th March 2025 and set to conclude by 31st July 2025. Notably, the lanterns are to be replaced with new ones from the original manufacturer, William Sugg and Company Ltd, incorporating upgraded LED technology, as per the listed building consent approval requirements.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in manufacturing and supplying bespoke street-lighting solutions. It demonstrates the importance of heritage-sensitive solutions in public infrastructure projects which require specialist skills and components. Businesses with capabilities in innovative lighting technology, especially those focusing on LED upgrades for historic structures, will find themselves well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities. The involvement of a niche market supplier highlights the value of having distinct expertise and a proven track record in handling sensitive heritage projects.

## Notice

Stourport Bridge, Worcestershire, is a Grade II-listed structure. Attached to it and adjacent to it are a number of streetlights, all of which are classed as Grade II listed. These were originally installed in 1998 and are bespoke. All of these lanterns have failed and have been removed for safety reasons. Inspection revealed they are beyond repair or refurbishment. WCC has been granted listed building consent to replace the lanterns like for like, from the original manufacturer (William Suggs), albeit with upgraded optics to reflect the latest LED technology. Design and specification has been confirmed as it was a requirement to allow WCC to submit to Local Planning Authority for Listed Building Consent Approval. The approval is based on documented submissions and cannot therefore be deviated from.
