Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured construction works for the Welford Road Front Walls Improvement Scheme. The project concerns improvements to front walls on Welford Road, within Leicester, and is classified as construction work. Leicester City Council is the buying organisation. The requirement is categorised as works and forms part of the council’s wider construction activity. The successful supplier, Olivetti Construction Ltd, is based in Leicester and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The work is to be delivered in England. The scheme is a specific construction package rather than a general consultancy, maintenance or supply requirement, so relevant businesses are contractors with experience of carrying out physical building or improvement works to walls and associated external structures.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under Lot 1 of Leicester City Council’s PAN2916 Construction Framework. Bids closed at 12 noon on 5 May 2026. The contract was awarded to Olivetti Construction Ltd on 6 July 2026 for £379,689, including the stated currency of GBP. The award contract period runs from 23 July 2026 to 24 May 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £379,689. The procurement used a framework mini-competition route, with the requirement identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the council’s stated outcome is the appointment of Olivetti Construction Ltd for the Welford Road front walls improvement works.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement shows Leicester City Council’s demand for small and medium-sized construction businesses able to deliver defined external improvement schemes through its construction framework route. A credible competitor for comparable future work would need practical capability in wall construction or refurbishment, site management, health and safety, scheduling and quality control, together with the capacity to deliver a council project of this scale within a fixed programme. Experience of public-sector construction, working under framework mini-competitions, preparing compliant tenders and managing delivery in an urban Leicester setting would strengthen its position. Local or regional contractors with suitable resources and a track record of completed wall or related building works are the closest fit.
