Who won: Christmas Lights

About this contract

Beccles Town Council are looking to improve the Christmas lights display around the town. Ideally, we want to have a long-term relationship with a supplier to enhance the displays in a phased way over a few years. Our current situation is that we install considerable lengths of string LEDs up and down our streets and have a number of lamppost displays, as well as a number of rectangular panels fitted to the front of buildings (see sample images attached). We currently install the lights late October/November and they are on display until early January. We have a late night 'switch on' event on the last Friday of November. We are inviting tenders to supply lights on a three-to-five-year arrangement, starting in 2026 (or in 2027 if 2026 is not possible). Suppliers are invited to suggest a design approach, based on the following guidelines: • Having better, more varied lamppost displays • Having signature pieces installed at various locations throughout the town • How we can integrate some of our existing lights into the new layout, including (but not necessarily limited to) more imaginative use of string lights. We are open-minded as to the duration of the agreement and on whether
