UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is conducting a public procurement process for the provision of "Market Street Planters," a supply requirement for twelve moveable curved-shaped tree planters made of reconstituted porphyry stone. The procurement is under the goods category and follows an open competition method. The tender is currently active, with submissions due by 20 March 2026, following the enquiry period which ends on 10 March 2026. Interested suppliers are required to deliver the planters to the City Highway's depot in Leicester. The contract period is initially set from 20 April to 19 July 2026, with options for renewal extending to 19 October 2026. As part of the procurement criteria, bids will be assessed based on compliance, quality, and price.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in landscape products and urban infrastructure development, particularly those focusing on planter design and manufacturing. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as the procurement explicitly acknowledges their suitability. Companies that excel in providing durable, aesthetic street furniture with vandal-proof features and integrated watering systems might find considerable business growth potential here. Given Leicester City Council's procurement terms, businesses that can swiftly adapt to specifications without needing contract adjustments, and that demonstrate solid financial stability, stand a stronger chance in the competitive assessment.
