Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is procuring construction works at Catherine Junior School to reduce surface-water flood risk in the Willow Brook catchment. The project covers the design and construction of sustainable drainage features, including swales, filter strips, bioretention areas and detention basins. It also includes tree planting and associated landscaping. The completed works are intended to improve biodiversity, create outdoor learning opportunities, and support the health and wellbeing of pupils and staff. The contractor will deliver a sustainable and educational legacy for the school and surrounding communities. This is a combined design-and-build requirement for blue-green infrastructure, drainage, planting and landscape works at the school in Leicester.

The procurement reached tender: Leicester City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids may be submitted electronically. Questions were due by 18 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 28 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 17 October 2026 to 16 September 2027. The estimated value is £33,333.33 excluding VAT, or £40,000 including VAT. There is one lot, intended for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation is based on price at 80% and quality at 20%. The procurement timetable and pricing schedule were amended. The requirement is below the relevant threshold and relates to construction works.

This opportunity suits a small or medium-sized contractor able to design and build sustainable drainage and blue-green infrastructure in a school environment. Relevant capability includes delivering swales, filter strips, bioretention areas and detention basins, alongside tree planting and landscaping. Suppliers should be able to coordinate civil or drainage construction with landscape works and deliver a finished scheme that supports biodiversity and outdoor learning. Experience of working in or around school grounds would be useful because the project is intended to create an educational legacy while improving pupils’ and staff’s surroundings. The requirement is suitable for firms combining practical construction delivery with drainage, planting and landscape expertise, including smaller businesses able to manage the complete works package.
