Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured construction works at Ellesmere College in the East Midlands. The project involves converting one large classroom into a hygiene room and two smaller classrooms, requiring internal reconfiguration within an operational education setting. The requirement is categorised as construction work and falls within the works category. The buyer is Leicester City Council, with delivery at Ellesmere College. The project is a focused building alteration rather than a new-build scheme, centred on adapting existing internal space for hygiene provision and additional classroom capacity. It may be relevant to building contractors, refurbishment specialists and construction firms experienced in partitioning, room conversions and similar internal works in schools or other occupied public buildings.

The procurement has been awarded. Leicester City Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 8 June 2026 at 12 noon, and the contract was awarded to C Henry & Sons Ltd on 10 July 2026. The awarded value is £126,766 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 September 2026. C Henry & Sons Ltd is the sole named supplier, and the award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement is not divided into separately reported lots or awards.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for small-scale education refurbishment and internal adaptation works. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to deliver classroom reconfiguration safely and efficiently, including forming new rooms and a hygiene facility within an existing college building. Relevant experience in school refurbishment, internal construction, partitioning, finishes and coordinating work in an education environment would strengthen a future response. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that businesses of this scale can compete for the requirement. Firms already able to access the relevant framework route, or partners able to work through it, would be better placed to pursue comparable council work.
