## About this tender

Somerset County Council (SCC) is conducting this procurement using the open procedure in accordance with the requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for the purpose of procuring the requirements described in the Specification. A contract notice published on OJEU reference number 9X3B-X5ZAR3 was dispatched.

This ITT contains further information about the procurement process, the Works, and the tender formalities. Each Tender should be detailed enough to allow SCC to make an informed selection of the most appropriate solution.

This procurement is being carried out by SCC to select a Supplier for the provision of a programme of works to replace current sodium street lighting lamps with more energy efficient LED lamps. It covers the provision of all products, equipment and associated Works required to carry out a full programme of replacement.

The programme is an ‘Invest to Save’ Street Lighting project to replace the conventional lanterns with LED lanterns. The Councils current illuminated street light assets are made up of SOX & SON lanterns.

The revenue operating expenses associated with the present lighting stock are electricity and maintenance costs. Approximately 75% of operating expense is for electricity and 25% for regular maintenance.

Falling costs are helping to turn LED technology into a mainstream lighting solution. This, combined with the reduced maintenance costs of LED lights, presents the opportunity to make significant ongoing energy and cost savings

The scope of the project is lantern replacement only. There are a total of 18,067 units to be replaced. However suppliers are asked to provide an option price for column replacement should this be required as part of the project.

SCC seeks to appoint a partner with a proven track record in this field. The Project will be offered as one contract however companies and organisations may decide to work together as a consortium where they have complementary skills and expertise to fulfil the different parts of the contract.
