Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about fireworks, pyrotechnic, bonfire night, drone show in the UK public sector.
What does a fireworks tender cover?
A fireworks tender is a contract for organising and firing a public firework display. It can also cover pyrotechnic effects, site safety management and a firing crew for bonfire, Christmas or New Year's Eve events.
Where are fireworks contracts advertised?
Stotles brings together fireworks tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.
If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Councils usually let fireworks displays as multi-year contracts or single-event quotations on their own portals and Contracts Finder.
What do you need to bid for fireworks contracts?
Display operators need trained pyrotechnicians, explosives handling must follow the Explosives Regulations 2014, and buyers expect a full event safety plan and public liability insurance. Tenders usually check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar displays at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.
Can a fireworks contract cover more than one event?
Yes. Some councils tender a single contract for the same operator to run Bonfire Night, a Christmas lights switch-on and New Year's Eve displays across a year. Others tender each event separately.
Who buys fireworks displays in the public sector?
Councils are regular buyers of fireworks displays, through an events, culture or parks team. Housing associations and town councils also commission smaller local displays.
How do I find fireworks contracts before they are formally tendered?
Read events calendars, bonfire night and seasonal event plans, town centre festival programmes and expiry dates for annual display contracts, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the councils behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
What CPV codes cover fireworks tenders?
Fireworks notices carry 24613200 (Fireworks) and 79952000 (Event services).
