## Summary

The London Borough of Waltham Forest procured the supply, logistics and installation of new Christmas lighting for Walthamstow Town Square and Walthamstow High Street. The work also covers agreed repairs or upgrades to the existing lighting infrastructure. This is a combined requirement for lighting goods, installation works and associated logistics services, for seasonal displays in Walthamstow town centre. The Council is the buyer.

The procurement is complete and Peckfords Electrical Contractors Ltd was selected for the single lot through a direct award without competition, using a procurement waiver. The Council approved the waiver on 25 September 2025, citing the supplier’s unique expertise and prior experience with bespoke, irregular lighting infrastructure in Walthamstow Town Centre. The contract was signed on 28 May 2026 and runs from 28 May 2026 to 27 May 2027, with a maximum extent to 28 November 2027. Its value is £70,000 excluding VAT (£84,000 including VAT).

This award shows that the Council’s Christmas lighting requirement combines sourcing, logistics management, installation and potential repairs or upgrades to existing infrastructure. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate specialist experience with bespoke and irregular lighting infrastructure in Walthamstow town centre, alongside the practical capacity to coordinate equipment and logistics and deliver installation safely and reliably. The award rationale placed particular weight on unique expertise and prior experience in this specific setting, so general electrical contracting capability alone may not be enough to match the profile selected. The work is a single, below-threshold package covering both new seasonal lighting and existing infrastructure, which may suit an experienced electrical contractor able to deliver the full requirement.
