## Summary

Derbyshire County Council recently completed an open procurement process for the "Supply, Installation, Maintenance & Removal of Highway Electrical Assets including ICP and Emergency Response Works." The contract, awarded on 12th May 2026, involves the supply, installation, and servicing of streetlights and illuminated traffic signs across Derbyshire, including a 24-hour emergency response service. The contract was signed with VIA East Midlands Limited, starting on 4th April 2026, for an initial term of two years with potential extensions up to 2030 depending on performance. Located primarily in the Derbyshire region, this contract falls under the public-service sector, specifically dealing with street-lighting and associated maintenance services, valued at £7.2 million.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the electrical and civil engineering sectors, especially those with expertise in highway lighting and infrastructure services. Companies with an Independent Connection Provider (ICP) accreditation can offer valuable service delivery, meeting emergency response requirements and maintenance needs effectively. Both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and larger firms can find this contract beneficial as it supports business growth through recurring revenue streams and enhances reputation via public service operations in collaboration with local government entities. Additionally, the competitive open procedure provides a level playing field for various qualified suppliers to submit bids and showcase innovation and bespoke solutions to meet the project's demands.

## Notice

This tender is for the supply, installation, maintenance and removal of highway electrical assets such as streetlights and illuminated traffic signs including electrical connections and emergency response. A key aspect of the contract is the provision of a 24-hour, 365-day emergency response service for street lighting issues. The contract is intended to support the DCC existing in-house street lighting team. The contract will include the provision of electricity service works as an ICP (Independent Connection Provider) across the three DNO (Distribution Network Operator) areas in Derbyshire and attendance to dangerous situations to reduce the risk (mainly be second call with a lorry mounted crane, but on occasions first call). This contract will not cover traffic signal maintenance.
