Tender description

Windlesham Parish Council is seeking contractors to provide Christmas trees and lighting for three distinct locations: Bagshot, Lightwater, and Windlesham.

Each lot will be evaluated independently, and contracts may be awarded separately. The selected contractor must be able to supply, install, and remove all festive lights, as well as supply and install Christmas trees and tree lights. In the event of an emergency, the contractor must be able to attend the site within two hours. For all other call-outs, attendance is required within 24 hours.
