Publisher note: This notice is issued by Somerset County Council. As of April 2023 Somerset’s five councils will be replaced by a single council delivering all council services to communities in the county. Somerset’s County and District Councils are now working together to deliver the new council for Somerset that will bring together existing council services. The five councils will also work with partners, City, Town and Parish Councils and residents to create a new council which delivers for everyone. As a result of the above, maintenance services of public-lighting installations and traffic signs and illuminated bollards under the direction of the new Unitary Council (with the exception of Property assets) will be included in this contract. Any contract or contracts awarded as a result of the proposed procurement exercises will be awarded by Somerset Council.
