Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is procuring one bespoke bus shelter for Melton Mowbray. The requirement is for the supply of a purpose-designed shelter, covering construction structures and associated construction materials, with the specific classification of bus-stop shelter construction work. The work is categorised as a goods purchase and is intended for delivery in Melton Mowbray, United Kingdom. This opportunity is relevant to manufacturers, fabricators, shelter specialists, construction-product suppliers and businesses able to produce a bespoke public-realm structure for a local authority. The requirement concerns a single shelter rather than a general supply programme, so firms should be able to translate the council’s design and specification into one completed product for the identified town.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective call-off from a compliant framework agreement under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer was 16 September 2026 at 23:59. The contract period runs from 18 September 2026 to 18 September 2027 at 23:59. The estimated procurement value is £25,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The published process concerns one bespoke bus shelter and uses a framework call-off rather than an open competition. The procurement is identified as a supply of goods, with bus-stop shelter construction work as the associated activity. Offers are therefore expected from suppliers eligible to participate through the relevant framework arrangement.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, as the procurement is identified as suitable for both. It is particularly relevant to suppliers with experience in bespoke shelter manufacture, metalwork, timberwork, modular public-realm structures, construction products or bus infrastructure. A capable bidder would need to turn a customer-specific requirement into one finished bus shelter and manage production for a local-authority setting. Relevant strengths include design interpretation, fabrication, materials procurement, quality control, packaging and delivery coordination. Businesses already appointed to the compliant framework are best placed to pursue the call-off, especially those with a reliable supply chain and the capacity to deliver a single bespoke structure to the Melton Mowbray requirement.
