## Summary

Leicestershire County Council, acting as the buying organisation, has recently completed a procurement process titled "Country Parks Infrastructure Repair and Maintenance," focusing on services in the environmental sector. The procurement, which was conducted through an open competition method below the threshold, is situated in the UKF22 region, covering areas like Bosworth Battlefield and Market Bosworth. Key activities included site maintenance in wetland and heathland environments, with the awarding phase concluded in January 2026.
