UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is buying bollards for city-centre street infrastructure in Leicester. The bollards protect pedestrians and restrict vehicle access, supporting highway maintenance and development projects. The requirement is divided into three product areas: fixed polymer round bollards, fixed polymer octagonal bollards, and concrete decorative extended bollards. The council requires a reliable supply source to support continuing procurement for its maintenance and development work. This is a goods contract for delivery in Leicester and the surrounding council area. Businesses involved in manufacturing, wholesaling or supplying street infrastructure products, highway furniture, polymer bollards or concrete bollards should find the requirement relevant. The opportunity covers supply of the specified bollard types rather than installation or wider street works.

The procurement has reached tender: Leicester City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 14 September 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 21 September 2026 at 12:00. The total estimated value is £165,000 excluding VAT, or £198,000 including VAT. Lot 1, fixed polymer round bollards, is valued at £65,000 excluding VAT (£78,000 including VAT). Lot 2, fixed polymer octagonal bollards, is valued at £70,000 excluding VAT (£84,000 including VAT). Lot 3, concrete decorative extended bollards, is valued at £30,000 excluding VAT (£36,000 including VAT). Each lot is scheduled from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2028, with a renewal option described as one 24-month extension. Offers are evaluated on price at 60% and quality at 40%.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to provide dependable, repeat supplies of fixed polymer round bollards, fixed polymer octagonal bollards, concrete decorative extended bollards, or a combination of these products. It is relevant to manufacturers, specialist distributors, wholesalers and street-furniture suppliers with suitable product ranges and the capacity to fulfil council requirements for highway maintenance and development projects. The procurement is explicitly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller suppliers may be able to compete. Businesses should be prepared to demonstrate product quality and reliable supply performance, because quality forms a substantial part of evaluation alongside price. Suppliers able to support continuing orders over the contract term, maintain consistent availability and meet the required technical specifications are particularly well placed.
