Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council has successfully completed a direct award procurement process for the supply of ready-mixed concrete, necessitated by an unforeseen emergency with the incumbent provider. The total value of the contract is £700,000, with the procurement covering the period from 17 April 2025 to 16 April 2026. The tender falls under the 'goods' category, specifically classified under ready-mixed concrete (CPV 44114100), and is expected to facilitate delivery to various sites across England, UK, or collection from the supplier's site. The contract has been awarded to two suppliers: Tarmac Trading Ltd and Holcim UK Ltd, both of which are large-scale organizations chosen through a direct award process due to the urgency of the situation.

This procurement represents a substantial business opportunity within the construction materials industry, particularly for suppliers of ready-mixed concrete. Although the current award has been made, similar future opportunities may arise for businesses equipped to handle emergency supply demands. While large-scale enterprises have been appointed this time due to the immediate need, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) might find opportunities in supplementary services or future tenders as Leicestershire County Council continues to maintain infrastructure and public works, ensuring continuity and efficiency in its operations.
