Tender description
This project is to replace 1 existing hire vehicle currently used by Highways team with a new vehicle more specific to the needs of the service. This will also remove the reliance on the rental of a forklift truck for Housing Stores. The Highways team require the use of a 2.5t Counterbalance forklift truck equipped with a block grab attachment to unload / load deliveries of materials required for repairs to the Highway infrastructure in the city and surrounding areas. Highways receive large volumes of materials from suppliers, materials within these deliveries can weigh up to 2 ton, hence the need for a forklift truck with capabilities to unload these materials.

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.
