UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is buying market stalls as a goods supply contract. The requirement is for the provision of market stalls for use in Leicester. This is a furniture and market-infrastructure opportunity, involving the manufacture, supply and potentially delivery of physical stalls rather than consultancy, construction or routine services. It will suit businesses that make, distribute or supply market-stall units and associated furnishings. The council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement relates to its local market operations. The procurement concerns one defined requirement, covering the market stalls needed under the proposed contract. Suppliers should review the tender documents for the detailed specification, including the required stall design, materials, dimensions, finish, quantities, delivery arrangements and any installation or other handling responsibilities.

The process reached tender: Leicester City Council invited offers through an open below-threshold competition. It has one lot, with an estimated value of £145,000 excluding VAT and £174,000 including VAT. The proposed contract runs from 29 October 2026 to 1 March 2027, with a stated duration of 12 months and no extension option; these published dates and duration should be checked against the tender documents. Questions had to be submitted by 12:00 noon on 10 September 2026 through the ProContract portal. Offers had to be submitted electronically, through the specified EastMidsTenders/ProContract route, by 12:00 noon on 29 September 2026. Evaluation is weighted 60% price and 40% quality.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, specialist market-equipment suppliers, furniture businesses and distributors able to provide market stalls to a public-sector specification. Leicester City Council has identified the lot as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it is not limited to large national contractors. Strong candidates will be able to demonstrate reliable production or sourcing, consistent product quality and the capacity to fulfil the requirement within the contract timetable. Relevant experience in supplying stalls, kiosks, outdoor trading equipment, temporary structures or commercial furniture would help suppliers address the quality assessment. Businesses should also be equipped to manage packaging, delivery and any practical handling requirements associated with supplying physical units, while offering competitive pricing. The procurement is focused on goods, rather than installation or construction services.
