## Summary

Coventry City Council procured a festive lighting and illuminations programme, covering installation and removal of displays, plus inspection, testing and maintenance of the displays and associated electrical infrastructure. This is specialist public-lighting installation and maintenance work (CPV 50232110). The requirement is for the council’s festive programme in Coventry. The scope calls for a contractor able to manage the lighting displays and their electrical infrastructure across the programme, rather than supply of lighting equipment alone.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Lighting & Illumination Technology Experience Limited, an SME. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and is active. Its stated value is £700,000; no contract period is recorded. Coventry City Council used a further competition through the YPO Dynamic Purchasing System 295, inviting appointed suppliers in the relevant category who could meet the requirement. One bid was recorded. The award criteria gave equal weight to quality and price, at 50% each. The tender included one lot, whose status is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the published outcome identifies the supplier and contract for the festive lighting requirement.

For suppliers preparing for a comparable Coventry requirement, this award shows demand for an integrated festive-lighting service: display installation and removal, inspection, testing and maintenance, together with work on associated electrical infrastructure. Credible competitors would need relevant experience and qualifications, as the council expressly sought a suitably experienced and qualified contractor, and the operational capability to deliver each of these activities as a coordinated programme. Quality mattered as much as price in the evaluation, so a strong case would need to demonstrate reliable delivery and technical competence alongside competitive costing. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that this work was delivered by a business of that scale. The route was a further competition among suppliers appointed to the relevant YPO DPS category, making eligibility for that category and the ability to respond to a competition essential.
