About this good practice
A successful tender was held for the supply and installation of efficient street lighting fixtures, LED lamps and other consumables for the University of Patras.
LED lights are a wonderful solution for gymnasiums, warehouses, schools and commercial buildings, also adaptable for large public areas, road lighting and parking lots. There are 3 major advantages to LED lighting: a) LEDs have an extremely long lifespan relative to every other lighting, b) LEDs are extremely energy efficient compared to every other lighting technology, and c) LEDs offer very high light quality and very low maintenance costs.
The purpose of the tender was the supply and installation of outdoor lighting fixtures, lamps and other consumables for the energy upgrade of the street lighting and ambient lighting of the University of Patras. More specifically, it relates to the supply and installation of new technology LED lamps and lighting fixtures to existing tissues, replacing the existing old energy-efficient arm and top lamps. At the same time, the contract sets requirements in replacing terminal boxes (lids) on all existing tissues, as well as all existing tissues of existing jugs with new ones.
The contract was awarded on the basis of the lowest compliant economic offer. The contractor is required to fully restore any damages caused during the supply phase to the facilities at no extra cost and is also obliged to remove waste materials without any additional compensation.

Resources needed
A total of 950 lighting fixtures, extra 350 lighting fixtures with LED lamps embedded, 950 LED lamps and 1300 new terminals and lockboxes were envisaged in the contract to be supplied and installed on the streets of the University of Patras. The total cost was set at 135,160 € (VAT 24% included).
Evidence of success
The tender was successful and the contract with the supplier was signed in July 2018. The implemented lighting fixtures, LED lamps and the other consumables for the energy upgrade in the streets of the University of Patras have been efficiently operating ever since. The replacement has resulted in a 50% reduction in electricity bills for the University of Patras and has improved the quality of illumination in streets (reducing the danger for accidents) and reduced greenhouse emissions.
Potential for learning or transfer
The proposed GPP practice is easily transferable to other organisations and has a big potential for transfer and learning. Needs addressed are common among sectors, organisations and different regions/countries. The organizational resistance risk is predicted to be extremely low, due to the vast majority of benefits offered by this best practice and the very common need of indoor lighting in universities.
