Pre-Market Engagement Notice: Christmas Lights Scheme 2027
Descriptions
Cirencester Town Council is seeking early engagement with potential suppliers for its 2027 Christmas Lighting Scheme. This pre-market consultation is intended to inform the future procurement process and help the Council understand financial implications, market capacity, innovation, and installation lead times.
The Council is not, at this stage, seeking formal quotations or proposals but welcomes interest and feedback from suppliers who may wish to bid when the formal tender is launched in mid-2026 including site visits to plan the scheme (refer to Engagement Section).
Background
Cirencester has a long-standing tradition of festive lighting throughout its town centre. The 2027 scheme is anticipated to:
* Cover multiple key streets and public spaces
* Include design, supply, installation, removal, storage and maintenance
* Reflect sustainability goals (e.g. LED use, low-energy systems)
* Run for 5 years (subject to performance)
* Work within the current budget of £28,000 excluding VAT, however quotes over this may be considered.
Objectives of This Notice
• Inform the market of our future intentions
• Invite suppliers to express interest
• Allow suppliers to view the existing scheme during the 2025 festive season
• Offer opportunities for early dialogue, site visits, and feedback
