UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "PAN3347 - Housing – Tipper Tail Lift Vehicles x 2", which focuses on the industry category of transport equipment. This procurement aims to replace two vehicles used by the Housing Repairs Service Team with bespoke vehicles tailored to their specific needs. Located in Leicester, United Kingdom, the process is at the pre-market engagement stage, which will remain open until 16 February 2026. The Council plans to initiate the procurement for a contract period starting on 1 May 2026 and concluding on 30 April 2027, with the procurement communication to follow a planning notice scheduled for 10 March 2026. The estimated contract value is £192,000, grossing to £230,400, indicating substantial budget considerations for potential suppliers.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in transport equipment and vehicle body customisation, specifically those proficient in producing tailored tipper tail lift vehicles. SMEs with the capacity to provide bespoke body and tail lift constructions are particularly well-suited to compete. The procurement process offers a pathway for vehicle manufacturers to engage with Leicester City Council’s Housing Repairs Service Team, potentially securing a lucrative 12-month contract. Such opportunities can lead to long-term collaborations and exposure within the public sector, opening doors for future engagements and expansion within similar regional government projects.
