## Summary

The procurement process for relighting the Pittville Recreation Centre is led by Cheltenham Borough Council, based in Cheltenham, UK. This project falls under the category of works relating to lighting systems and other electrical installation work. The tender was conducted as an open competition below the threshold, with the procurement method focusing on relighting the sports and cricket halls by utilising intelligent systems to reduce energy consumption. The tender process began with the notice published in October 2025 and concluded with the award and signing of the contract in January 2026. The contract period commenced on January 13, 2026, and is scheduled to end on March 31, 2027. This initiative not only seeks to improve the lighting within the facility but also adheres to sustainability measures, setting expectations for compliance with BIBSE guide LG04 for sports lighting.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly SMEs in the electrical and lighting sectors, to showcase their capability in implementing energy-efficient technologies. The focus on intelligent lighting systems opens avenues for those specialising in advanced lighting technologies and control systems. The successful supplier, R F GARDINER LIMITED, highlights the viability for small to medium-sized enterprises to enter and thrive in public sector projects. Businesses with expertise in compliance documentation and certifications will also find opportunities in demonstrating the alignment of their solutions with specified regulatory standards. Engaging in such projects can enhance a business's profile, offer growth in new markets, and establish credibility in sustainable practices.

## Notice

Pittville Recreation Centre (Site) is owned by the Authority and managed by The Cheltenham Trust. The existing lighting in the Sports Hall and Cricket Hall at the Site is nearing the end of its economic life and it is proposed that it is replaced with a new lighting scheme. The intent of the scheme is to provide an excellent lighting provision that also reduces energy demand through intelligent switching and controls. This will be achieved by replacing the existing lighting in both the Cricket Hall and the Sports Hall with new models, utilising the existing wiring but with alterations to switching and controls to provide the intelligence required.
