What is being bought
Workington Town Council is seeking a contractor for the supply, installation, take down and storage of leased Christmas lighting displays.
The contract is for five years, starting in June 2026 and ending in June 2031.
With an option to extend for a further two years if required.
Workington has a relatively large Christmas lighting display for a town of its size and the displays extend to encompass most of the town centre. The Town Council is ambitious in its approach and aims to have a display that is bold and impactful, but one that is also environmentally friendly.
As technology is developing all the time, the council is looking for new ideas and innovations.
Budget: Approximately £50-55,000 per year
