Summary of the contracting process

Latest Procurement Summary: Leicestershire County Council has completed a procurement process for the hire of plant without an operator. Conducted as a direct award under the ESPO 536 Framework Agreement, this procurement falls within the category of civil engineering machinery. The procurement method was direct and below the threshold, meaning it was finalised without competition. The contract date is 9th January 2026, and it extends from 10th January 2026 to 10th January 2027, with a possible extension to 2028. The purchasing region is UKF22, Leicester, United Kingdom.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for large and small to medium enterprises (SMEs) within the civil engineering and plant hire industries. Businesses that provide civil engineering machinery capable of operating independently would be well-positioned to compete. Leicestershire County Council’s emphasis on direct awards under a framework could lead to future opportunities for reliable suppliers offering competitive pricing and high service levels, particularly those already part of existing frameworks which are familiar with public procurement processes and can meet the requirements efficiently.
