The programme includes a summer research and development installation created with Chain Bridge Forge, forming a temporary public artwork within Ayscoughfee Hall. The supplier is also responsible for community engagement, working with local participants to create collaborative soundtracks for incorporation into the main Light Night event. This is a creative event-production and public-art services requirement, classified under CPV 92300000, entertainment services. The work is centred on Ayscoughfee Hall Museum & Gardens and involves activity with Chain Bridge Forge and the local community in Spalding.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly, below threshold and without competition. One lot was awarded to SQUIDSOUP LIMITED, an SME. The award was made on 28 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £66,000 excluding VAT and £79,200 including VAT. The contract covers the single requirement for creative design, light installations, production management, the summer research and development artwork, and community soundtrack activities. East Lindsey District Council is the buyer, with Public Sector Partnership Services Ltd facilitating the procurement process. The award is active and the contract is active.

This procurement indicates demand from East Lindsey District Council for suppliers able to combine artistic direction, temporary light-art installation and live-event production management. Relevant capability includes developing heritage-sensitive concepts for museum or historic venues, producing and installing illuminated public artworks, and managing delivery from design through event production. Suppliers should also be able to run meaningful community engagement, drawing out contributions from local participants and turning them into sound or other creative content integrated into a public event. Experience collaborating with cultural, heritage and community organisations would strengthen credibility, as would the practical capacity to deliver a research and development installation alongside the main event programme. The selected supplier’s SME status suggests this type of creative commission can suit a focused specialist studio or production company.
