Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council conducted a procurement process titled "Market Street Planters", aimed at acquiring movable curved tree planters made of reconstituted porphyry stone. This project falls under the goods category within the public authority sub-central government industry. The planters, which include features such as lifting hooks, watering systems, and anti-vandalism properties, are to be delivered to Leicester's City Highway's depot. The procurement was executed through a direct method below the threshold, without competition, signifying a streamlined process. The contract, valued at £73,651.34 gross, was active from 27 July 2026 and can be extended for an additional three months beyond the initial end date of 26 October 2026.

Large companies, like Marshalls Mono Limited, which has secured the contract, are well-suited to offer the required expertise and capacity to meet such stringent specifications related to crash resistance and environmental durability.
