Description

The District Council/Overseeing Organisation manages and maintains approximately 1671 streetlight assets. The majority of the lighting stock is owned by the District Council, but 640 streetlights are managed by the Council on behalf of seven Parish Council's, and Clarion Housing Association for which services are recharged.

The District Council/Overseeing Organisation seeks to appoint a streetlight services contractor who shall be responsible for providing the inspection, maintenance, repair, modification, replacement, and upgrade of streetlight assets managed by the Council within the Fenland District in Cambridgeshire.

The contract shall include for the rectification of faults, lamp, lantern, and luminaire replacement (where applicable), lantern/luminaire bowl/lens cleaning, and streetlight replacement and/or upgrade works resulting from ad-hoc knock downs and structural or component failure and capital programmed projects.

The contractor will be required to liaise with the local energy provider and relevant land/property owners on behalf of the Overseeing Organisation to co-ordinate disconnections, service transfers and new connectivity works for the modification, replacement, or installation of new lighting apparatus.

It is anticipated that the contract will commence on or around 01st September 2024 and will end on 31st August 2027. The duration of the contract shall be for three years with an optional two one-year extensions to 2029 subject to agreement by both parties and contractor performance over the first three years.

The contract is based on undertaking routine and reactive maintenance using a schedule of rates (Priced Schedule), whereby the Overseeing Organisation pays only for the work that is undertaken by the contractor during programmed maintenance visits, or reactive attendance.

An option to extend the streetlight repairs and maintenance works contract to other District Councils within Cambridgeshire may wish to be explored during the contract period, having a shared service provider. However, this option does not currently form part of the tender document pricing and would only be considered should this approach be deemed acceptable and financially beneficial to all parties. In such an eventuality it is likely that access to the contract would be via a separate agreement between the appointed contractor and the relevant District Council. Fenland District Council would not look to administer works for third parties outside of the Fenland boundary.
