Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured construction works to remove and replace an external steel escape staircase at Granby Primary School in Aylestone, Leicester, LE2 8LP. The requirement falls within the construction works category (CPV 45000000) and concerns a specific school building rather than a wider programme of works. Leicester City Council was the buying organisation. The work is located at the primary school in Aylestone, within Leicester. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The project involved the physical removal of the existing external steel escape staircase and installation of its replacement, making it relevant to contractors with experience in structural steelwork, access and egress structures, construction site management and work in operational education settings.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 24 June 2026 to MJE Contracts (Leicester) Limited. The award value was £139,168.26 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 13 July 2026 to 7 September 2026. The original estimated procurement value was £140,239. Tender submissions had a deadline of 11 June 2026 at 12:00. Leicester City Council ran the exercise as a mini-competition under Lot 1 of its PAN2916 Construction Framework, covering project values from £0 to £500,000. The tender was classified as works and used an alternative procurement method described as “Other”. The selected supplier was a Leicester-based SME. The contract is recorded as active.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement provides a clear example of Leicester City Council’s demand for small construction projects involving external steel access and escape structures at schools. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate practical capability in safely dismantling existing steelwork, designing or installing replacement staircase components, managing interfaces with the building and completing works in a school environment. Relevant evidence would include experience delivering construction works of a similar scale, reliable programme and site management, and the ability to work within a public-sector construction framework mini-competition. Local delivery capability may be commercially useful, as the awarded business was based in Leicester. Firms able to support SME-scale council construction requirements should monitor this buyer’s framework-led purchasing activity.
