The objective is to secure a high-quality, reliable, and cost-effective service that meets ward-level requirements and budget constraints. The contract will be structured as a menu-based Schedule of Rates, allowing ward councillors to select products and services in line with available ward budgets. The service menu will include, but not be limited to: - Project management - Site surveys and feasibility assessments - Installation and de-installation - Electrical testing and safety checks - In-season maintenance and fault response - Storage of equipment where applicable - End-of-season removal and disposal or recycling - Christmas Trees The provision of free-standing Christmas trees will be limited to real trees only, available in the following sizes: 15ft, 20ft, and 25ft. The core service for Christmas trees will include: - Supply of real trees - Delivery and haulage - Secure installation, including stand/base and ballast - Testing and safety checks - In-season maintenance - Removal at the end of the display period - Responsible disposal or recycling, supported by appropriate evidence Decoration of trees will not form part of the core service and must be priced separately as optional add-on packages, for example: - Lights only - Lights and topper - Full decorative dressing - Festive Lighting Equipment All column-mounted festive lighting motifs must be new items only. The use of ex-rental, ex-display, or refurbished equipment will not be permitted. - Procurement Route The procurement will be undertaken using the Open Procedure, in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23). - Contract Value and Duration The estimated total contract value is £360,000 exclusive of VAT (£432,000 inclusive of VAT) over the full four-year term.
