Introduction

 Alvechurch Parish is a semi-rural area of north Worcestershire, part of Bromsgrove district and immediately south of the City of Birmingham.  The Parish Council provides a range of local services to a population of over 5000, including managing around 140 footway lighting columns, mainly on residential streets.  A significant investment programme has been agreed to upgrade this lighting stock, with funding being planned from a Public Works Loan.  Concrete lighting columns are being completely replaced along with some older steel ones, and all lamp units are being standardised with environmentally-friendly LED units.

Project specifications and other tender documents are shown below, they are also available via the Government’s Contracts Finder Website.  A contract value of around £150,000 is anticipated and the relevant tender period extends from 20^th September to 1^st November 2021.  The Council expects funding arrangements to be finalised before the end of the calendar year and implementation is therefore planned during the first 6 months of 2022.

The Council is looking to balance overall cost, quality of materials and delivery timescales.  All tenders will be formally evaluated using pre-set criteria.  Prospective suppliers must be able to demonstrate an ability to work within the above parameters and prove successful implementations of a similar size and scale.  An ongoing maintenance contract for the new lighting stock may form part of the final contract award.

Good footway lighting is a key community priority for safety and security reasons.  The Parish Council is committed to delivering this major investment project to meet local needs.

Tender submission deadline – Midday on 1^st November 2021
