Description

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.

As technology is developing all the time, the council is looking for new ideas and innovations. Budget: Approximately £50-55,000 per year
