Summary of the contracting process

In a recent public procurement exercise, Leicester City Council, a sub-central government authority located in the UKF21 region of Leicester, has successfully completed the award stage for a Tree Management System. This exercise, which was initiated with an open competition under a "below threshold" procurement method, was to manage the 189,000 trees under the Council’s ownership. The procurement falls under the software package and information systems industry category, and the tender was officially awarded on 25th November 2025, with the contract scheduled to start on 1st February 2026 and potentially extend until 31st January 2031. The total contract value is grossly cited as £112,141.

This tender provides a multitude of business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in software systems tailored to municipal needs such as tree management and urban planning. The system aims to incorporate digitalisation elements, thereby opening doors for businesses that can offer innovative solutions in automation, channel adoption, and customer self-service. The authority’s partnership with RA Information Systems, a large enterprise headquartered in Chesterfield, highlights an opportunity for businesses of similar scale and capabilities to engage in such specialised goods provision. The procurement process, with a primary focus on quality (80%), encourages firms with strong expertise in delivering robust, efficient technological solutions to engage with future tenders of this nature.
