Sandwell MBC provides and maintains 30,985 streetlights and approximately 5,000 other types of illuminated street furniture. Of these, 30,139 lighting units have already been upgraded through a previous lantern replacement programme. This delivered significant energy efficiencies, carbon reductions and introduced LED lighting technology controlled via a Central Management System (CMS), a platform that enables remote monitoring and adjustment of street lighting assets for optimal performance and fault detection. The proposed Street Lighting Improvement Programme Contract, will focus on upgrading the small number of remaining non-LED lighting units and converting approximately 9,000 existing LED lanterns onto a single, integrated CMS. Additionally, the contract will enable the replacement of lighting columns and other illuminated street furniture that have reached the end of their design life, ensuring that the infrastructure remains safe and fit for purpose. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030196-2026 | | Notice type | UK6 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Apr 2026 | | Submission deadline | 4 Feb 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 9 Mar 2026 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2026 - 31 Mar 2030 | | Recurrence | 2026-03-02 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £4,500,000 | | Lots value | £4,500,000 | | Awards value | £4,500,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Cancelled | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SANDWELL METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Additional buyers | Missing | | Locality | OLDBURY | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B69 3DE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG37 Sandwell | | Local authority | Sandwell | | Electoral ward | Oldbury | | Westminster constituency | West Bromwich | | Delivery location | TLG37 Sandwell | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 2 | | Supplier names | ALTITUDE SERVICES; J MCCANN | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 45233293 - Installation of street furniture - 45316000 - Installation work of illumination and signalling systems - 45316110 - Installation of road lighting equipment - 50232100 - Street-lighting maintenance services ## Release History - 1 Apr 2026 at 09:45 - TenderCancellation - UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030196-2026 - 9 Mar 2026 at 15:52 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021011-2026 - 5 Jan 2026 at 11:58 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000245-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030196-2026 1st April 2026 - Procurement termination notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021011-2026 9th March 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000245-2026 5th January 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sandwellmbc - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
