Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council, a sub-central government public authority in the United Kingdom, is in the planning phase for a procurement project titled "PAN3421 - Supply of Pre-Owned Vehicles and Disposal of Ex-Works." This initiative focuses on the supply and disposal of transport equipment under the goods category, aimed at addressing unreliable vehicles and improving service delivery. The project is valued at £12,000,000 gross, with £10,000,000 as the net amount. The procurement method is set to be an open procedure. Located in the UKF21 region, the council will initially award the contract for three years, starting from 1st December 2025, with the option to extend up to a maximum of five years. Interested parties are encouraged to engage with the pre-market engagement process, which concludes on 26th September 2025.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses in the transport equipment and automotive sectors, particularly those specialising in pre-owned vehicles and asset disposal services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the inclusive nature of the contract, which deems SMEs as suitable candidates. Businesses with a strong background in vehicle supply, maintenance, and disposal services can leverage this tender to establish or expand their footprint within the public sector. The open procurement method ensures a transparent and competitive environment, allowing businesses to demonstrate their capabilities and potentially secure a significant contract with Leicester City Council.
