## Summary

East Staffordshire Borough Council bought the supply, installation and maintenance of annual Christmas lights and festive displays in Burton upon Trent town centre. The work covers Christmas tree and tree lighting, wall-mounted displays and decorations suspended on catenary wires. It also includes emergency out-of-hours response, repairs and management of the annual switch-on. This is a seasonal town-centre lighting and display service, combining equipment supply with installation, maintenance and operational support. The council is the buyer, and the delivery location is Burton upon Trent.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Christmas Plus Ltd. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026, with a value of £32,880 excluding VAT (£39,456 including VAT). The contract period runs from 21 October 2026 to 30 January 2027, with an option to renew for one year, to a maximum end date of 30 January 2028. The process was a below-threshold procurement. It was arranged as one lot. The published information does not state a separate evaluation formula or award criteria.

The award shows demand from East Staffordshire Borough Council for a supplier able to provide a complete seasonal lighting service in a town-centre setting. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to source and install Christmas tree and street displays, including wall-mounted and catenary-wire equipment, then maintain them through the season. The ability to respond to faults and emergencies outside normal working hours, carry out repairs and coordinate the annual switch-on is also relevant. The successful supplier was an SME, demonstrating that this scale and combination of equipment and services was delivered by a smaller business. Suppliers with practical installation and maintenance capacity for public-space festive lighting would be best placed when this buyer next needs the same service.
