## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Historic Environment Scotland (HES) pertains to the "Maintenance of the Floodlighting Systems at Edinburgh and Stirling Castles" in the category of artificial and natural lighting engineering services for buildings (CPV: 71318100). This contract, valued at £200,000, was awarded on 20th December 2024 and involves the maintenance and supply of LED floodlighting systems. The procurement is at the award stage and will run for six years, with HES intending continuity in maintenance and preservation of the floodlighting hardware, located in Edinburgh (UKM75) and Stirling (UKM77). The procurement method used is a limited procedure, awarded without prior publication due to the technical specificity of the supplier.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in advanced lighting systems maintenance and hardware supply. Given the technical nature and specific partnership required by Philips, businesses with similar approved partnerships and advanced expertise in LED systems would be well-positioned to compete. The contract's extended duration also offers stability and potential for additional work through the optional supply of floodlighting bulbs and related equipment, making it an attractive prospect for large-scale firms capable of long-term service delivery and technical competence as demonstrated by the awarded supplier, LITE Ltd.
