Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is buying bollards for city-centre street infrastructure and highway maintenance, to protect pedestrians and restrict vehicle access. The requirement covers three types: fixed round polymer bollards, fixed octagonal polymer bollards, and decorative extended concrete bollards. The council says a reliable supply is needed to maintain these areas and support highway maintenance and development projects. Deliveries are for Leicester. This is a goods procurement for bollards (CPV 34928450), arranged as a continuing supply contract rather than a one-off purchase.

The procurement is complete and all three lots were awarded to Broxap Ltd on 14 October 2026. Lot 1, fixed round polymer bollards, was awarded for £62,500 excluding VAT (£75,000 including VAT); Lot 2, fixed octagonal polymer bollards, for £87,500 excluding VAT (£105,000 including VAT); and Lot 3, decorative extended concrete bollards, for £20,833.33 excluding VAT (£25,000 including VAT). Each contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with two 12-month extensions available. Leicester City Council used an open, below-threshold competition. Bids were evaluated on price, weighted 60%, and quality, weighted 40%. The deadline for tender submissions was 21 September 2026 at noon; enquiries closed on 14 September 2026 at noon.

For suppliers targeting Leicester City Council’s street-infrastructure and highway-maintenance demand, this award indicates recurring requirements across polymer and concrete bollards, with separate product specifications suited to specialist manufacturers, stockists and distributors. A credible competitor would need dependable supply across the required bollard types and the capacity to support ongoing maintenance and development projects. The council’s evaluation gave quality a substantial role alongside price, so evidence of product suitability, durability and reliable fulfilment would be important, as well as competitive pricing. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable for all three lots, and the competition attracted bids from smaller suppliers on the polymer lots. The contract’s extension options also indicate that continuity of supply and sustained service capability matter to this buyer.
