Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed a procurement process for the "De Montfort Hall - Stage Refit" project, which falls under the construction work industry category. The project involved the removal and disposal of the existing stage flooring and the installation of a new semi-sprung oak floor at De Montfort Hall in Leicester, United Kingdom (Region UKF21). The procurement process was conducted directly without competition, categorised as "Below threshold", and has now reached the award stage. The tender was awarded to British Harlequin Plc, with the contract period starting on 20th July 2026 and scheduled to end on 19th September 2026, with a potential extension until 19th October 2026. The gross contract value awarded was £122,091.33.
