LED Lighting Tenders and Contracts

Most LED lighting tenders are straightforward replacement or upgrade jobs: swapping fluorescent or sodium fittings for LED lamps and fittings in a school, office, fire station or hospital building. A smaller number cover new-build lighting design and installation, or larger multi-site retrofit programmes bundled with emergency lighting and lighting controls.

Stotles brings together LED lighting tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. LED upgrades are often awarded directly from energy efficiency and hard facilities management frameworks, and smaller single-building jobs appear on Contracts Finder or a council's own portal.

LED lighting tenders are scored on price alongside the lighting design, energy savings, product quality and warranties, and how the installation is managed in occupied buildings. Many buyers award through energy efficiency frameworks, so a framework place opens up repeat work.

Lighting installation is electrical work that must meet BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations, and emergency lighting must meet BS 5266. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar installations at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

The LHC energy efficiency framework is used by councils to award LED lighting upgrades directly, usually inside decarbonisation projects at fire stations, libraries and community buildings that also cover heating, insulation or solar.

NHS trusts have also awarded replacement LED lighting in hospital departments directly from the SBS hard facilities management framework.

Local authorities, schools and academy trusts, NHS trusts, universities and fire and rescue services all run this work, mostly as individual building-level jobs rather than large frameworks.

Read net zero and energy strategies, infrastructure investment plans, framework renewals and expiry dates for existing contracts, which show LED lighting work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

LED lighting notices carry 31527260 (Lighting systems) and 31518200 (Emergency lighting equipment). Refurbishment contracts that include LED upgrades among other works often carry no lighting code at all.
