## Summary

Derry City and Strabane District Council has recently awarded a contract for the "T25-056ENV Festive Lighting" project, aimed at enhancing the seasonal atmosphere through the installation, maintenance, and removal of festive lighting in designated areas. The procurement was conducted via an open competition method, below the threshold, demonstrating a transparent and competitive process. The tender, which was in the works category, involved multiple stages, culminating in the contract being awarded on the 4th of September 2025, with the contract execution starting from the 6th of November 2025 to the 30th of January 2026. The awards were primarily for works involving electrical installation, with successful suppliers, K S Electrics (NI) Ltd and P McColgan & Sons Ltd, competing for different lots across locations in Derry, Strabane, and their respective district villages.

This award presents significant growth opportunities for SMEs specialising in electrical installations, particularly those with expertise in festive and decorative lighting. Given the project's scope across multiple locations and the requirement for skilled in-situ repairs, businesses proficient in swift and efficient installation and maintenance under public authority guidelines can greatly benefit. Additionally, the project opens avenues for potential collaborations and subcontracting opportunities for electrical work specialists aiming to expand their portfolio within Northern Ireland. The involvement of local SMEs like K S Electrics (NI) Ltd indicates strong regional support, encouraging similar-sized businesses to engage in future tenders of this nature.
