Tender description

We have RE-PUBLISHED the tender due to our original estimated value being below market value. By increasing the estimated value and re-adverting the tender, we hope to receive more bids. Leicester City Council is seeking a partner to provide a solution that provides members of the Public with wireless access when visiting the Councils amenities. The Council expects the proposed solution to use their existing infrastructure, based on Cisco wireless technology, for all sites. The Council requires a third-party service that will provide internet access to the public as a service to the Council. Keywords: Public Wifi, Support, Council Buildings

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.
