Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured works to supply and install three new bus shelters in Melton Mowbray, including removal of the existing shelters. The locations are Dalby Road adjoining Queensway, Valley Road adjoining the shops, and Wilton Road outside the College of Further Education. This is a small construction and installation requirement focused specifically on bus-stop shelter construction and associated site clearance or removal work. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The work is for public transport infrastructure in Melton Mowbray, within Leicestershire. Businesses relevant to this requirement include manufacturers and suppliers of bus shelters, construction contractors, civil engineering firms and installation teams able to coordinate removal and replacement works at several town locations.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Bus Shelters Ltd on 26 August 2026. The awarded value is £21,050. The tender’s estimated value was £22,000. The awarded contract period runs from 28 August 2026 to 30 April 2027; the wider stated contract period runs from 28 August 2026 to 31 August 2027. The procurement used an ‘Other’ procedure, with the tender described as works for bus-stop shelter construction. The tender submission deadline was 20 August 2026 at 23:59. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Bus Shelters Ltd was the named successful supplier. The requirement was presented as a single package covering all three shelters and their removal works.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicestershire County Council for multiple bus shelters in one town, combining supply, removal of existing structures and installation at live public locations. A credible future competitor would need access to suitable bus-shelter products, practical installation capability and the capacity to manage several sites within one council-led works package. Experience coordinating public-realm construction, site access, removal and making good would be relevant to the same requirement. The procurement was explicitly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that smaller specialist contractors and community-focused organisations could be credible participants where they can deliver the required construction and installation work. The successful supplier was an SME, providing evidence that a specialist rather than a large general contractor can meet this buyer’s requirement.
