## Summary

Southend-on-Sea City Council procured works to install 1,900 metres of festoon lighting and catenary wire, including control systems, along Southend Pier. The requirement is the installation of outdoor illumination equipment, covering the physical lighting infrastructure and its controls. The work is delivered at Southend Pier in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. This is a specialist electrical and public-realm installation rather than a supply-only purchase: relevant businesses are those able to install, connect and commission extended outdoor lighting systems in a pier or similarly exposed public environment. The council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement sits within its local authority estate and visitor infrastructure. The single requirement covers the full lighting installation rather than separate published work packages.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to RE-GEN (M&E SERVICES) LTD. The award date was 28 August 2026. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 23 October 2026, with a maximum extent date of 16 July 2027. Its value is £39,346.03 excluding VAT and £47,215.24 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold, using a procedure recorded as “below threshold - unknown”. There was one lot, covering the complete requirement, and it is marked complete. The award is active and the contract is active. Renewal flexibility is allowed for adverse weather, particularly high winds or storms, to protect safety and minimise accidental material loss.

This award indicates demand from Southend-on-Sea City Council for specialist outdoor lighting installation on a large public structure. A credible future supplier would need practical experience installing long runs of festoon lighting, catenary wire and associated controls, together with the electrical, access and commissioning capability needed to deliver a complete working system. Experience in exposed coastal, pier, marine or similarly weather-sensitive environments would be relevant because the stated programme allows flexibility for high winds and storms, with safety and prevention of material loss as explicit concerns. The requirement suits an electrical or mechanical-and-electrical services contractor able to manage installation as works rather than simply provide equipment. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that a business of this scale and profile can satisfy the council’s requirement.
