The High Street mixes conservation status buildings with mews areas and shopping alleyways. It easily plays host to events, one being the annual thee-day Christmas Festival when the Christmas Lights are switched on. It is the ambition of the Council to create a cohesive visual link between the three main areas within the town for Christmas lighting, being: - The area of shops/road junction at Linslade (Wing Road, Old Road and Leighton Road). - West Street / Leighton Roads from the above junction to the Leston Road / Hockliffe Street roundabout junction and Billington Road, (Inc. the roundabout). - The town centre with 5 entry points, Lake, Hockliffe, North, Friday (Ropa Court) and Bridge Streets including Church Square, with the Peacock shopping mews and alleyway areas. - The other side of North Street beyond the roundabout junction of West Street. The use of a consistent and strong visual scheme is envisaged to be a key link between all the areas stated above. The Council would like to see an innovative approach that provides 'visual movement' in the display chosen and one that pushes the decoration beyond the area of electricity supply points and maintains a visual flow of light around the town centre. Parts of the scheme should create focal points of spectacle. ### SCHEME BUDGET The Council has a budget of £90k over the 3-year period of the contract. (£30k per year- to include contingency budget). Applicants should be minded that the budget will need to cover the costs of call-outs, infrastructure repair and so on. You are strongly advised to allocate a reasonable sum of money for the unexpected. Applicants will note that the tender is in three parts: - Main scheme - Christmas tree lights - Variant Bid Read full description ## CPV classification Christmas tree lights Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/199e1b9f-a987-42c8-b194-6e58776f8316) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
