Who won: Christmas Lights 3 year Contract

About this contract

Crowborough Town Council organises an annual Christmas event, where the Christmas Lights are switched on. This tradition has been held in Crowborough for years and is seen as an important part of the Christmas event, as well as marking the beginning of the Christmas celebrations. The event itself attracts over 1000 people from all over Crowborough, covering all ages and backgrounds. The event also creates a great space for local business to showcase their products and services. The event is greatly valued by young families, and it really sets the scene for the beginning of the festive season. Crowborough Town Council is seeking quotes for the hire, installation/dismantling, and maintenance of the festive lights for the town. The contract will be awarded for a period of three years commencing in 2026. The installation of the lights will be in November before the light switch-on event. They will remain in place until January.
