UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is overseeing the procurement process for the extension of New Lubbesthorpe Primary School, which aims to accommodate an additional 210 pupils. This procurement falls under the construction work industry category and is situated in Leicester, United Kingdom. The process is currently at the award stage with a notable contract period commencing on 23rd October 2026. This contract has been awarded through a direct procurement method, reflecting the terms set in a Section 106A agreement related to the New Lubbesthorpe Development. The Council clarifies that this direct award is intended to adhere to existing agreements, signifying transparency and not a typical public works contract. Key dates include a scheduled signing on 23rd October 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction work, particularly those capable of adhering to pre-defined developmental agreements such as Section 106A. Large-scale enterprises with a robust infrastructure for educational building projects, like Shakespeare Martineau LLP and MATHER JAMIE LTD, are well-suited for this undertaking due to the project's scale and complexity. Engaging in this type of public sector project can lead to enhanced visibility and credibility for any enterprise capable of delivering on such commitments, and potentially unlock subsequent opportunities in related infrastructure or educational facility expansions.

Notice Information

Notice Title

New Lubbesthorpe Primary School Extension

Notice Description

Pursuant to a Section 106A agreement between the owners / developers of the New Lubbesthorpe Development and Leicestershire County Council, the owners / developers were required to provide a range of contributions to local infrastructure and facilities as a condition of their planning consent for the development. One of those requirements is for provision of an extension of New Lubbesthorpe Primary School to facilitate an expansion of 210 pupils. To facilitate this, the Council proposes to enter into a separate development agreement, setting out that the owner./ developer will be responsible for constructing the extension as per the Section 106A agreed. The proposed development agreement is intended only to give effect to the terms of the Section 106A agreement already in place, setting out the details of what is being delivered in ensuring that the extension is delivered to the Council's and the relevant Academy Trust's (school operator) requirements. The Council's view is that the extension works are incidental and ancillary to the New Section 106A Agreement in setting out commercial terms and requirements for the recipient of the works being delivered under the Section 106A. The Council does not consider this to be a public works contracts, but is publicising the proposed agreement via this Notice in the interests of transparency.
