Tender description

CONTRACT-9X3B-X5ZAR3 The programme is an ‘Invest to Save’ Street Lighting project to replace its conventional lanterns with LEDlanterns. The Councils current illuminated street light assets are fitted with SON lanterns. The revenue operating expenses associated with the present lighting stock are electricity and maintenance costs. Approximately 75 % of operating expense is for electricity and 25 % for regular maintenance. Falling costs are helping to turn LED technology into a mainstream lighting solution. This, combined with the reduced maintenance costs of LED lights, presents the opportunity to make significant ongoing energy and cost savings. The scope of the project is lantern replacement only. There are a total of 18 067 units that need to be replaced. Suppliers will be asked to provide an option price for column replacement should this be required as part of the project. SCC seeks to appoint a partner with a proven track record in this field. The Contract will be let as 1 contract however companies and organisations may decide to work together as a consortium where they have complementary skills and expertise to fulfil the different parts of the contract.
