Tender description

Our previous supplier (SMB college group) was struggling to fulfil their obligations due to staffing issues. During our last meeting they said that this was unlikely to improve until the end of 2025 start of 2026. Due to our legal obligations all our gas qualified staff need to hold the relevant gas qualifications and we want to award it to Leicester College who came second in the initial tender. ## Contract award

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.
