## Summary

West Suffolk Council, located in Bury St Edmunds, United Kingdom, initiated a direct procurement process for the "Athenaeum Ballroom floor replacement and Re-Decoration of the Ballroom" project. This contract was marked as complete in January 2026. The procurement process followed a below-threshold method without competition and focused on providing repair and maintenance services for the Athenaeum's chandeliers. The awarded contract, valued at £44,720 net, began on 17th November 2025 and concluded on 31st January 2026. The primary supplier awarded was Crystle Light Chandeliers, based in Enfield, UK.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in installation and repair services, particularly those with expertise in high-value lighting fixtures like chandeliers. The clear requirements and limited competition in such direct procurements can aid SMEs in gaining public sector contracts. Firms with capabilities related to furniture restoration or production focusing on environmental sustainability might find similar future opportunities advantageous for expanding their service offerings and geographic reach within the UK public sector.

## Notice

This contract is for Athernaeum Ball Room. The seven chandeliers at the Athenaeum have been stripped and the parts assessed. Examination shows there are a large number of component parts which are damaged. As the hall is to be used for a function in early April, (and as there is insufficient time to source and/or manufacture the required replacement parts before the needed date) four complete chandeliers are being prepared using parts taken from the seven. This will allow the hall to be available, (on the required date) with four of the original chandeliers back in place. These will be installed into the four corners of the room. A fifth chandelier will loaned to the hall by Crystal Light and this will be fitted in the centre of the room.
