Description

Windlesham Parish Council is seeking contractors to provide Christmas trees and lighting for three distinct locations: Bagshot, Lightwater, and Windlesham. To accommodate local preferences and logistical considerations, this tender is divided into three lots. Suppliers may submit bids for one, multiple, or all lots. Each lot will be evaluated independently, and contracts may be awarded separately.
The selected contractor must be able to supply, install, and remove all festive lights, as well as supply and install Christmas trees and tree lights. In the event of an emergency, the contractor must be able to attend the site within two hours. For all other call-outs, attendance is required within 24 hours.
For further details, please refer to Appendix 1, which provides detailed information on requirements, and Appendix 2, Standard Selection Questionnaire which must be completed and submitted alongside your tender application. Please note that you must answer all questions in parts, 1, 2, and 3.
To be considered, interested contractors must demonstrate a proven track record, supported by evidence of previous or current similar projects. Applicants must also provide at least one relevant reference and a copy of valid insurance, including public liability insurance of £10 million, a risk assessment, and a HERS certificate with their application.
Contractors who meet these requirements are invited to complete the attached tender spreadsheet and submit an estimated cost breakdown for 3 consecutive years. Contractors should be aware that the Council reserves the right to not award the contract or alternative to award the contract by lot, for either 1, 2 or 3 years.
