The appointed contractor will store, inspect, test, maintain, install, commission, remove and repair festive lighting throughout the city centre. This is a services contract, covering the full operational lifecycle of the council’s seasonal lighting rather than a one-off installation. Delivery is in Stirling. The requirement is classified under CPV 50232000, covering operation of street lighting and public lighting, with CPV 45316100 also used for installation of outdoor lighting equipment. The council is seeking a suitably qualified contractor able to manage the physical assets and provide planned and reactive support across the service. Community benefits are also part of the requirement, to be delivered within the Stirling Council area. The process has reached tender: Stirling Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. It is a single lot. The tender deadline and bid opening were set for 12 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract has an initial three-year term, stated as 1,080 days, with an option at the council’s discretion to extend by a further two years, giving a maximum five-year duration. The estimated contract value is £306,000 including the published currency of GBP. Evaluation gives 70 points to price and 25 to contract management quality. Variants are not allowed, and bids must be submitted in English. A further procurement is anticipated around mid-2031. This opportunity suits specialist festive, public or outdoor lighting contractors that can provide an end-to-end service: secure storage, inspection and testing, planned maintenance, fault repairs, installation, commissioning and seasonal removal. Suppliers will need the operational capacity to support lighting across a city-centre environment and to manage the equipment throughout a multi-year service arrangement. Experience in coordinating installation and removal work, maintaining electrical lighting assets and responding to defects would be directly relevant. The high price weighting means cost control will be important, while contract-management quality is also assessed. The successful contractor must deliver and report community benefits in the Stirling Council area, potentially including training, apprenticeships, work placements, volunteering and engagement with schools, colleges and community organisations. ## Notice Stirling Council is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified Contractor to provide the storage, inspection, testing, maintenance, installation, commissioning, removal and repair of festive lighting throughout Stirling City Centre. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Stirling Council is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified Contractor to provide the storage, inspection, testing, maintenance, installation, commissioning, removal and repair of festive lighting throughout Stirling City Centre.
