## Summary

Sunderland City Council procured the delivery of New Year’s Eve fireworks displays for Sunderland. The requirement is categorised as goods and covers fireworks, with the related classification describing fireworks supplies. The work is associated with Sunderland and is for the council’s public celebration activity. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than a group of separately described services: one completed lot covered the fireworks display delivery. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are those that supply fireworks and can provide the associated display delivery service for a local authority event. The selected supplier, Reaction Fireworks Limited, is based in Consett and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The buyer is Sunderland City Council, a sub-central public authority.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Sunderland City Council used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed, with the contract awarded to Reaction Fireworks Limited on 14 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 17 August 2026 to 1 January 2027. Its value is £48,000 excluding VAT and £57,600 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was conducted through the limited-competition route; the available procurement data does not set out separate quality, price or technical weightings. The award covers the fireworks requirement for the single lot, and the contract period encompasses preparation and delivery of the New Year’s Eve display.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates Sunderland City Council’s demand for a locally delivered fireworks display for a major public celebration. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply fireworks and provide the practical capability to deliver a complete New Year’s Eve display for a council buyer. Reaction Fireworks Limited’s selection shows that an SME can be appointed for this type of local-authority requirement through a below-threshold limited competition. Relevant businesses should therefore be able to demonstrate reliable fireworks supply, event delivery experience and the operational capacity to support a time-specific public display. The requirement is focused on fireworks and display delivery for Sunderland, rather than general event services or unrelated pyrotechnic work.
