Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council has completed a procurement process for the North & East Melton Mowbray Distributor Road, specifically focused on infrastructure diversions required by BT, with Openreach Ltd as the statutory supplier. This direct award process falls under the construction industry category, particularly concerning communication lines and highway works. The project is set within England, United Kingdom, with a contract period spanning from September 26, 2022, to March 31, 2026. The procurement stage has reached completion with an award notice published on June 17, 2026, and the total contract value stands at £320,000 GBP.

This tender offers specialised opportunities for businesses providing construction, communication, or infrastructure services, particularly those capable of handling statutory provider requirements.
