Tender description

Leicester City Council is looking for a a qualified supplier to support our scheduled programme of cleaning highway drainage across the city (referred to as ‘gully cleaning’). The Council’s gully cleaning operation involves emptying out all gullies on the network of adopted highway in the city of Leicester. A ‘risk-based’ programme has been developed, which prioritises gullies shown to be at high risk from surface water flooding to be cleaned every year, along with gullies on main arterial routes and within non-residential areas. On all other roads, gullies are to be cleaned on a two-yearly cycle. The Supplier will work alongside the Council’s internal contractor (‘City Highways’) in delivery of the gully cleaning programme, with the responsibilities of the Supplier and City Highways clearly defined within the programme.

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.
