Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned highway construction works on Home Farm Close in Leicester. The project covers resurfacing and patching the carriageway and footway, with associated traffic management, surface preparation, adjustment of ironwork and installation of new bituminous surfacing materials. This is a local highways works requirement rather than a supply-only contract, requiring coordinated site activity across road and pedestrian infrastructure. The procurement is categorised as construction work and falls within the works sector. Delivery is in the East Midlands, at the named Home Farm Close location. The council is the buying organisation and the selected supplier is Holcim UK Ltd, a large construction materials and infrastructure business. The requirement is relevant to contractors able to deliver short-duration highway surfacing and associated civil engineering operations.

The procurement has been completed and was awarded directly to Holcim UK Ltd on 26 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £68,349.31. The contract period runs from 17 October 2026 to 22 October 2026. The tender deadline was 26 August 2026 at 12:00. Leicester City Council used a direct award procedure, rather than an open competition. The published outcome identifies one award and one supplier. The award covers the full Home Farm Close highway works package, including surfacing, patching, traffic management, preparation and ironwork adjustments. The procurement record does not set out a scored evaluation breakdown; the route used was a direct award. The council classified the opportunity as works and recorded it as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement indicates demand from Leicester City Council for contractors able to deliver integrated highway maintenance packages, combining carriageway and footway surfacing with the site preparation and ancillary works needed to complete them safely. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need practical experience in bituminous surfacing and patch repairs, competent traffic management arrangements, plant and operatives for short, tightly programmed site work, and the ability to coordinate ironwork adjustments with resurfacing. Capability across both road and footway environments would be more relevant than a materials-only offer. The selected supplier’s large-business scale also indicates that capacity, mobilisation and reliable delivery of a complete package are important to this buyer. Firms considering future comparable work should be positioned as established highway works contractors rather than specialist suppliers of individual materials alone.
