Saltash Festive / Event Light Display 3 year contract

Description

Saltash Town Council has traditionally managed the organisation of Christmas lights in-house, with contractors hired to install, manage, and maintain them in preparation for the festive season. Last year, the Town Council invested in new festoon lighting. However, the other Town Council owned decorations, including cross motifs and lamp post motifs, reached the end of their lifespan and were recycled earlier this year.  Saltash  Town  Council  ("the  Town  Council")  has  taken  this  opportunity  to  invest  in lighting not just for Christmas but for various events throughout the year.  The  Town  Council  is  now  seeking  tenders  from  suitably  qualified  and  experienced contractors to provide not only a Christmas Lighting Display but also a lighting display that can be used for various events and public holidays such as Easter, Valentine's Day, Remembrance, and any other Town-organised / national events.  The  scope  of  work  involves  design,  supply,  installation,  maintenance,  removal  and storage (if required) of lights and decorations.    The Town Council is looking for new designs and ideas, mixing modern with traditional, catering  to  all  ages,  with  a  Cornish  theme.  The  Town  Council  is  interested  in  an environmentally  friendly  approach  to  displays,  e.g.  energy  efficient  LED's,  solar options, etc. for a contractual period of three-years.  

Tenderers are invited to use their experience and their product ranges and design knowledge to present a scheme for Saltash that enhances Fore Street, inclusive of Victoria Gardens to the Waterside - presentation to be included in the tender submission.

The scheme  should  create  a  focal  point  on Fore Street,  with  versatile/projection lighting  that  can  be  utilised  all  year-round  for  various  Town  Events  and  Public Holidays, including but not limited to, May Fair, Regatta, Easter, and Valentine's Day. The Town Council wishes to have a bright and cheerful light display during the festive season that complements the town's high street, Victoria Gardens and the  Waterside.  (Please  refer  to  Appendix  A  for  further  information  on  locations inclusive of the Town Council assets and responsibilities and EICR Certification).
