## Summary

Sefton Council has completed the procurement process for their "Electrician & Power for Southport Events in 2026" contract. This initiative seeks to provide electrical services for popular events such as the Southport Food and Drink Festival and the British Musical Fireworks Championships, highlighting the vibrant tourism sector in the Southport area. The procurement was executed under the open competition method, suitable for contracts below the threshold. The process involved a tender stage where proposals were evaluated on the quality-price criteria, prioritising high-quality service at a competitive price. The contract, awarded to Pholex Ltd, will commence on 1st April 2026 and is set for a year, with potential extensions up to March 2029, ensuring continuity and reliability for the council’s tourism section events.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises in the electrical services industry to engage with major public events, fostering growth through community visibility and steady work. Pholex Ltd, an SME based in High Wycombe, exemplifies the type of business well-suited for such opportunities, highlighting the council’s encouragement of smaller enterprise participation. By providing two 12-month extension options subject to performance and funding, businesses can leverage these opportunities for long-term partnerships, stability, and enhanced reputation within the public sector. Enterprises focusing on electrical installation services can particularly benefit from the exposure and networking potential these popular events offer.
