Provision, Installation and Maintenance of Worcester City Christmas Lights

Worcester City Council has awarded a contract to Lighting and Illumination Technology Experience Limited for the provision, installation, and maintenance of the city's Christmas lights. The agreement, valued at 131,661 pounds excluding VAT, runs from June 24, 2026, to January 31, 2029, with a potential extension until January 31, 2030. The project emphasizes the need for illuminations that are respectful of Worcester's rich history, heritage attractions, and listed buildings while complementing its cultural and retail environment. The scope of work requires the supplier to provide and install illuminations across city streets, including the installation and dressing of Christmas trees and the creation of a feature on a prominent roundabout. Additionally, the supplier is responsible for the testing of fixtures, ongoing maintenance of the lights, and providing necessary support for the official switch-on ceremonies, which may be integrated into larger council events.
