Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured demolition works at the former Thurnby Lodge Boys Club. The requirement covers demolition of the main building, a brick and stone structure with a tiled roof, together with the adjoining changing room facilities. This is a construction and site-clearance project, rather than a supply or professional services contract. The work is to be delivered in the East Midlands. The council is the buying organisation. The requirement is relevant to demolition contractors, enabling-works specialists and construction firms with the equipment, workforce and site-management capability to dismantle and remove mixed masonry and roof structures safely, including associated facilities. The procurement was treated as works under the construction category.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a tender process using the stated procurement route “Other”. Bids were due by 6 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Leicester City Council awarded the contract to C. Henry & Sons Ltd on 21 June 2026. The awarded value is £97,707.60 including the published currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 30 June 2026 to 25 August 2026. The original estimated procurement value was £90,000 GBP. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active and covers the complete demolition requirement rather than separately identified lots.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for a specialist contractor able to deliver a complete demolition package on a public-sector site. A credible future competitor would need practical experience of demolishing brick and stone buildings with tiled roofs, handling adjoining changing-room facilities and managing the associated site-clearance activity. Appropriate plant, trained operatives, competent supervision and robust arrangements for health, safety, waste handling and protection of surrounding areas would be important to demonstrate. The buyer’s assessment of this procurement as unsuitable for SMEs indicates a preference for substantial organisational capacity, resources and delivery assurance. Firms seeking comparable work should be positioned to undertake the whole requirement, rather than only isolated demolition tasks.
