description
Westminster City Coucmil is looking to appoint a supplier for the provision of festive lighting and real Christmas tree services across multiple sites within Westminster. 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.
The proposed contract will be let on a 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 year basis, with the option to extend annually, subject to satisfactory contractor performance, continued service need, and ongoing value-for-money assessment. This structure provides the Council with flexibility to review the arrangement at the end of each year and determine whether continuation of the contract remains appropriate.
