Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed a procurement process titled "PAN3534 - Supply of 2 x Mini Diggers" for their Bereavement Services Team. This project aimed to replace the existing vehicles with models better suited to the service's needs. Classified under "Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation," the procurement was conducted through an open competition method below the threshold. The procurement stage is now at the Award phase, with the contract already signed and set to commence on 10th August 2026, concluding on 9th August 2027. The location for delivery is in the Leicester region (UKF21), United Kingdom.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport equipment and auxiliary products. Particularly suitable are large firms that can supply mini diggers, as smaller enterprises might find it challenging to meet the scale requirement. Given the project's open competition nature, companies offering competitive pricing while maintaining high quality stand a good chance of being successful. With a price weighting of 60% and a quality weighting of 40%, this contract allows businesses to distinguish themselves not only through cost efficiency but also through delivering superior quality products. This alignment with Leicester City Council's needs opens up prospects for continuous collaborations and business growth.
