Summary of the contracting process

Harborough District Council is seeking a single contractor to reinstate collapsed drainage and complete associated civil engineering works at land off Brookfield Way, adjacent to Park Road, Kingsbury Park, Lutterworth. The scope includes renewing drainage pipework, reinstating the drainage outfall, excavation and landscaping, temporary traffic management, pedestrian barriers, signage, general health and safety precautions, and miscellaneous related works. The work covers specific external areas and elements identified for treatment. Rhomco Consulting Limited is the principal contract administrator, while Welland Procurement is managing the procurement in partnership with the Council. This is a construction and civil engineering opportunity, with the work delivered in Lutterworth. A mandatory site visit forms part of the participation requirements.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot requirement with an estimated value of £960,000 excluding VAT (£1,152,000 including VAT). The contract period set by the buyer is 14 December 2026 to 30 June 2027. Enquiries close at 17:00 on 28 August 2026, and submissions are due by 12:00 noon on 4 September 2026. Electronic submission is allowed. Bids will be evaluated on price and quality, weighted 40% and 60% respectively. The tender is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The mandatory site visit is a condition of participation, with further requirements set out in the tender pack.

This opportunity suits a principal contractor experienced in drainage reinstatement and associated civil engineering or external works. Suppliers should be able to renew drainage pipework, reinstate outfalls, carry out excavation and landscaping, and manage temporary traffic arrangements safely around pedestrian and vehicle movements. The requirement also calls for general site health and safety controls, barriers, signage and related precautions, so bidders need suitable site management systems, competent personnel and the capacity to coordinate varied works on an external site. Experience delivering comparable drainage or infrastructure projects will be relevant. The contract is intended for one contractor, making it suitable for a business able to take overall responsibility for delivery, including the required site safety and construction activities.
