The bollards protect pedestrians and restrict vehicle access, supporting highway maintenance and development projects. The requirement is divided into three product areas: fixed polymer round bollards, fixed polymer octagonal bollards, and concrete decorative extended bollards. The council requires a reliable supply source to support continuing procurement for its maintenance and development work. This is a goods contract for delivery in Leicester and the surrounding council area. Businesses involved in manufacturing, wholesaling or supplying street infrastructure products, highway furniture, polymer bollards or concrete bollards should find the requirement relevant. The opportunity covers supply of the specified bollard types rather than installation or wider street works. The procurement has reached tender: Leicester City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 14 September 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 21 September 2026 at 12:00. The total estimated value is £165,000 excluding VAT, or £198,000 including VAT. Lot 1, fixed polymer round bollards, is valued at £65,000 excluding VAT (£78,000 including VAT). Lot 2, fixed polymer octagonal bollards, is valued at £70,000 excluding VAT (£84,000 including VAT). Lot 3, concrete decorative extended bollards, is valued at £30,000 excluding VAT (£36,000 including VAT). Each lot is scheduled from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2028, with a renewal option described as one 24-month extension. Offers are evaluated on price at 60% and quality at 40%. This opportunity suits suppliers able to provide dependable, repeat supplies of fixed polymer round bollards, fixed polymer octagonal bollards, concrete decorative extended bollards, or a combination of these products. It is relevant to manufacturers, specialist distributors, wholesalers and street-furniture suppliers with suitable product ranges and the capacity to fulfil council requirements for highway maintenance and development projects. The procurement is explicitly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller suppliers may be able to compete. Businesses should be prepared to demonstrate product quality and reliable supply performance, because quality forms a substantial part of evaluation alongside price. Suppliers able to support continuing orders over the contract term, maintain consistent availability and meet the required technical specifications are particularly well placed. ## Notice City centre bollards are a key element of city centre street infrastructure. They are used to protect pedestrian and to restrict access to vehicles. The maintenance of these areas can't be completed without a reliable supply source of these bollards. The number of bollards used annually for highway maintenance and development project require a formal contract to allow for continuous procurement. ### Lot Information Lot 1: Leicester Polymer Round Bollards - FixedLot 1: Leicester Polymer Round Bollards - Fixed Lot 1: Leicester Polymer Round Bollards - Fixed Full details available in the tender documents Renewal: 1 x 24 month extension available Lot 2: Leicester Polymer Octagonal Bollard - Fixed Lot 2: Leicester Polymer Octagonal Bollard - Fixed Full details are available in the tender documents Renewal: 1 x 24 month extension available Lot 3: Concrete Decorative Extended Bollard Lot 3: Concrete Decorative Extended Bollard Full details available in the tender documents Renewal: 1 4 month extension available ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079612-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 21 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 26 Oct 2026 - 25 Oct 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £165,000 | | Lots value | £165,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Leicester City Council | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Postcode area | Leicester | | Postcode | LE1 1FZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF21 Leicester | | Local authority | Leicester | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Leicester South | | Delivery location | TLF21 Leicester | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34928450 - Bollards ## Release History - 20 Aug 2026 at 16:10 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079612-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079612-2026 20th August 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - www.eastmidstenders.org To tender: (a) Go to www.eastmidstenders.org, (b) Register (c) Search for tender opportunity 'PAN3356' d) Express an interest (e) Download the tender from the website. ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.leicester.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
