Summary of the contracting process

The Leicester City Council is seeking bids for the "Supply & Installation of Storage Garage at Knighton Park Depot." This procurement process falls under the industry category of goods, specifically targeting prefabricated buildings, and is taking place in Leicester, UK. The procurement is at the tender stage, inviting interested bidders to submit their proposals by 23 July 2026. An open procurement method is employed, allowing for below-threshold competition where a tender value is set at GBP 50,000 with potential gross amounting up to GBP 60,000. The project entails constructing a 16m x 8m agricultural garage at the Knighton Park Depot to accommodate grounds maintenance and environmental volunteering machinery.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specializing in prefabricated building supplies and installations, particularly those catering to municipal and sub-central government needs. The open competition mode broadens participation opportunities, making it accessible for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. Contractors who can demonstrate quality and cost-efficiency stand the best chance due to the award criteria, which equally weigh price and quality factors. Successful tenderers can benefit from engaging in government projects, enhancing their portfolios, and increasing their potential for future collaborations, with a potential project extension of up to three months beyond March 2027.
