UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is procuring chain hoists for De Montfort Hall in Leicester. The requirement is for lifting and handling equipment and associated parts, classified under CPV 42400000. This is a goods supply opportunity rather than a works or service contract. Suppliers would need to provide chain hoists suitable for use at the venue. The council is the buying organisation and will use the equipment at De Montfort Hall. The procurement is presented as a single requirement, rather than a package of separate lots. It is specifically identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist lifting-equipment manufacturers, distributors and suppliers with the product range and fulfilment capability to meet a public-sector order.

The process has reached tender: Leicester City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Questions had to be received by 12:00 noon on 7 September 2026, and tenders had to be submitted electronically by 12:00 noon on 21 September 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 26 October to 7 December 2026, with a duration of two months and no extension option. Its estimated value is £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. The award decision is weighted 80% to price and 20% to quality. Late tenders and submissions made by methods other than the specified electronic procurement route will not be accepted.

This opportunity is suited to businesses that manufacture, distribute or supply chain hoists and related lifting and handling equipment. Relevant bidders are likely to have a dependable product range, established access to suitable equipment and the operational capacity to fulfil a sizeable single order for a public venue. The requirement may also suit specialist lifting-equipment SMEs, which the procurement identifies as eligible to participate. A supplier should be able to present a clear, competitive offer and explain the quality of the proposed equipment in its tender response. Businesses focused on general construction, unrelated goods or services, or equipment outside lifting and handling are less likely to find this requirement relevant.
