In plain English

Leicester City Council is procuring a large redevelopment of Leicester train station, worth about £21.6 million. The work covers a new entrance from Station Street, changes to the ticket hall and the car park and vehicle access at the rear, converting the lower ground floor (currently a bike store) into office space, and fitting out the covered entrance area (porte cochere) as a shell and core for a convenience store and a food and beverage unit. The contract is split into two stages: an early stage of early contractor involvement (ECI) and detailed design, which may be followed by construction.

What the buyer wants

• Deliver the station redevelopment works across the public realm, ticket hall, car park and vehicle access, lower ground floor offices and porte cochere fit-out, as set out in the tender pack. • Take part in the first stage (ECI and detailed design) and, if the council proceeds, carry out the construction phase. • Refer to the tender pack for the full technical requirements, as the notice itself gives only a summary.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice gives no qualification criteria, but the £21.6 million value and the scale of a full station redevelopment mean most small businesses would be unlikely to meet the financial, capacity and experience requirements typically needed for a contract of this size.

Always check the tender documents.

How to bid
