## Summary

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees procured the manufacture, supply and installation of 12 wayfinding signs for its Our Cultural Heart Programme. The signs vary in material and illumination, with illuminated signs using LEDs rated at least IP65. Electricity is supplied at each location, and the supplier is responsible for final electrical tie-ins and on-site connections. This is a combined signage, installation and electrical connection requirement, rather than a supply-only order. The work is for locations in Kirklees, with the council based in Huddersfield. The main procurement category is goods, covering signs and related items (CPV 44423400).

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed, with the contract awarded to ETESIAN TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 4 August 2026 to 4 November 2026. Its value is £91,470 excluding VAT and £109,764 including VAT. The contract is active. The recorded procurement route was limited competition, and the requirement was evaluated through that competitive process. The award covers the full requirement for the 12 wayfinding signs, including manufacture, supply, fitting and final electrical connections at the installation locations.

This requirement is relevant to businesses that can design or manufacture bespoke wayfinding signage, manage different sign materials, and install signs on site. Credible suppliers would need practical experience delivering illuminated external signage, including LED systems with a minimum IP65 rating, and the ability to complete electrical tie-ins and connections safely at each location. The work suits a contractor able to coordinate manufacture, logistics, installation and electrical completion as one service. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement was deliverable by an SME rather than only a large national contractor. Future competitors should be able to demonstrate reliable project delivery, suitable installation capability and control of electrical work.

## Notice

The purpose of the procurement was to appoint a suitable supplier that can manufacture, supply and fit twelve (12) wayfinding signs that will vary in material and illumination (using LEDs with a minimum rating of IP65). The signs that will be illuminated will require a source of power; the specification dictates that the supply of electricity will be provided at all locations. The successful supplier shall be responsible for all final electrical tie-ins and connections on site.
