In plain English
Derbyshire Dales District Council needs a contractor to install, operate and remove decorative lighting for the Matlock Bath Illuminations event over three years (2027, 2028, 2029). The work involves setting up electrical wiring, switchgear, flood lamps and fluorescent tubes to light natural garden features across 16 nights each September, October and occasionally November.
What the buyer wants
• Install and erect decorative lighting equipment (wiring, switchgear, flood lamps, fluorescent tubes) before each event season • Maintain and operate electrical systems safely during 16 event nights each year (approximately 50,000 visitors per season) • Dismantle and remove all lighting equipment after each season ends
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Most small electrical businesses will struggle with the three year commitment, the outdoor garden environment (damp conditions, exposed wiring), and the requirement to coordinate around 48 event nights across September to November annually with potentially short notice scheduling changes.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
