    Brief

    Barnsley Council is seeking a service provider to manage a comprehensive Christmas lights contract for the town centre. The provider will be responsible for installing, maintaining, and dismantling commercial-grade outdoor and indoor festive illuminations across three key locations: The Glass Works, Alhambra Shopping Centre, and Barnsley Market. Services include installation, maintenance, dismantle, storage, delivery, collection, PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) certification, call-out repairs while lights are displayed, and support at the official switch-on event to ensure successful illumination. The council owns some of the lights and may require the provider to supply additional commercial-grade festive illuminations. This is a seasonal contract with potential for ongoing annual engagement.
