UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is planning a major redevelopment of Leicester Station, intended to enhance a key gateway into Leicester city centre and create a new destination. The requirement combines early contractor involvement and detailed design with subsequent construction and site works. The scope includes extensive work around listed buildings, including relocating heritage assets; highway works; structural and internal layout changes to the existing station building; telecommunications recovery and installation; mechanical and electrical recovery and installation; and construction of public realm. The main category is construction work (CPV 45000000), with associated professional services. Delivery is centred on Leicester Station and includes compliance with Network Rail standards, making this relevant to contractors experienced in operational or railway-connected station environments.

This is a planned procurement at the intention-setting stage, rather than an invitation to tender. Leicester City Council expects to issue the tender notice by 30 September 2026. The estimated contract period is 28 June 2027 to 29 December 2029, with a renewal or extension provision potentially allowing delivery until 29 December 2030. The estimated value is £17 million excluding VAT and £20.4 million including VAT. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and is planned as a single lot. The council carried out preliminary market engagement, including an information session scheduled for 23 July 2025 and a questionnaire response date of 6 August 2025, to explain its requirements, key drivers and high-level timescales.

The work is likely to suit principal contractors and multidisciplinary construction businesses able to provide early contractor involvement, detailed design and construction through one delivery team. Relevant capability includes complex refurbishment and structural alteration of existing buildings, work around listed or heritage assets, highway and public-realm construction, and mechanical, electrical and telecommunications installation. Experience of coordinating multiple specialist trades in a constrained station or city-centre environment will be important. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate the systems, competence and capacity needed for compliance with Network Rail standards, alongside heritage-sensitive construction and safe interface management. Design-and-build organisations, major civils contractors and specialist partners able to collaborate across transport, building services and public-realm disciplines should monitor the procurement and prepare for the future tender stage.
