Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured 12 moveable, curved tree planters for Market Street. The goods comprise eight large planters, each 1.8–2.2 metres in diameter, and four medium planters, each 1.2–1.6 metres in diameter, with depths of 1–1.6 metres. They are to be made from reconstituted porphyry stone or a similar approved material. Each planter must include lifting hooks and a watering system or reservoir, and must be crash-tested and resistant to vandalism and graffiti. The supplier is responsible for delivery to Leicester City Council’s City Highways depot at 90 Leycroft Road, Leicester. This is a goods requirement for commercial-scale urban landscaping and public-realm infrastructure.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was selected: Marshalls Mono Limited. The award was made on 27 July 2026 through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and runs from 27 July to 26 October 2026, with an option to extend by three months to 26 January 2027. Its value is £61,376.12 excluding VAT, or £73,651.34 including VAT. The award covers one lot and is for the supply of all 12 planters. The published outcome identifies the procurement category as goods and the relevant classification as seeders, planters or transplanters. The selected supplier is Marshalls Mono Limited.

This procurement indicates demand from Leicester City Council for robust, specialist planters for high-profile public spaces, supplied as a complete product and delivered to a council highways depot. A credible future competitor would need to manufacture or source large curved planters in reconstituted porphyry stone or an approved equivalent, in different diameters and substantial depths. Capability should include integrating lifting hooks and watering or reservoir systems, together with evidence that products can meet crash-testing requirements and resist vandalism and graffiti. Suppliers should also be able to manage delivery of multiple oversized units to an operational depot. The awarded route was a direct below-threshold purchase, so relevant manufacturers, landscape-product distributors and specialist urban-furniture suppliers should understand how to present a compliant, readily deliverable solution to this buyer.
