Summary of the contracting process

Harborough District Council’s environmental services depot project involves construction work at Welham Lane, Great Bowden, Leicestershire. The scope includes a maintenance shed with foundations, structural steelwork, roof and concrete floor slab, alongside external hardstanding and a service yard. The site also includes parking for staff and commercial vehicles, areas for a portacabin, storage containers and bins, a vehicle wash-down area, and designated areas for diesel and AdBlue tanks. Associated works cover fencing and external protection, kerbs, road markings, drainage, water attenuation and site-wide services. The project is managed through Westworks Procurement Limited for the council. It is a civil and building construction requirement focused on creating a fully serviced depot for the council’s environmental services operations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to 7formation Ltd. The award was made on 6 October 2026, for £3,298,147.93. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 29 October 2027. The requirement was procured through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The stated tender submission deadline was 18 August 2026 at midday. The procurement was classified as works, with the opportunity identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published information does not set out evaluation criteria, lot arrangements or detailed eligibility conditions. The award value matches the tender’s stated estimated value; it is the award to the selected supplier, not a sum across multiple lots or suppliers.

For construction firms, this award demonstrates Harborough District Council’s demand for integrated depot construction: a maintenance building, vehicle and staff facilities, external yards, specialist operational areas and supporting infrastructure delivered as one site-wide project. A credible future competitor would need the capacity to coordinate structural and building work with drainage, attenuation, hardstanding, fencing, service provision and vehicle-related facilities, while managing a live programme across multiple trades. Experience delivering municipal, fleet or environmental-services depots would be directly relevant, particularly where work includes commercial vehicle access, wash-down facilities and fuel or AdBlue storage areas. The selective route used here was a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers would need to be positioned to compete through that route if a comparable requirement returns. The awarded company is an SME, showing that a business of this scale secured the work.
