Tender description

Leicester City Council (the Council) are commencing a formal Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise. The purpose of such engagement is to understand the level of market interest and to seek market intelligence on offerings in the market on both commercial off the shelf solutions as well as any innovative proposals from organisations that may have an interest or expertise in this field. The Council is aiming to procure a solution which will deliver and future proof the current functionality and additionally provide flexibility to exploit the use of new technology where this provides benefit to the business, in relation to installation, upgrade and ongoing provision/rental of reliable, low-latency point to point fibre circuits to support Leicester City Council’s Traffic & Public Space and Housing CCTV inventory. As we are at the PME stage, this by is being advertised as an above threshold PME, however the results of the PME will determine the actual value.

About the buyer

Leicester City Council buys as a local authority, advertising most opportunities through East Midlands Tenders, its regional supplier portal. Larger contracts appear on Find a Tender instead, where any supplier awarded a contract must also register from April 2026. Some contracts run through outside frameworks, including ESPO and the Government Commercial Agency. Suppliers apply to those bodies directly to become approved framework suppliers. A two-year procurement plan for 2026 to 2028 is published on the council's open data site. Supplier selection also weighs social value, such as local job creation and environmental impact, alongside price.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Leicester City Council's contract awards have been in transport services, construction work and software and information systems.
