Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council, on behalf of Broxtowe Borough Council, procured the design and build of a replacement leisure centre at Bramcote Leisure Centre, Derby Road, Bramcote, Nottingham. The works comprise a new part single-storey, part two-storey facility with a swimming pool, fitness studios and changing village, plus demolition of the existing centre and associated temporary and permanent car parking. The new centre is intended to replace an ageing facility that had become uneconomical to operate and maintain. The leisure offer was to remain operational until the replacement opened. This is a leisure-facility construction project combining new-build work, demolition and site-related parking provision.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. G. F. Tomlinson Building Limited was selected for the single lot; three bids were received. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026, with a value of £18,275,928.74. The stated contract period runs from 14 July 2025 to 13 November 2026. The estimated tender value was £15.7 million. The authority used a restricted procedure, with a pre-qualification questionnaire stage and up to five candidates eligible to be invited to tender. Award assessment weighted quality at 70% and contract sum analysis at 30%. The original tender submission deadline was revised to 17 January 2025 to allow more time to respond; the later invitation stage was scheduled for 24 February 2025.

For construction contractors considering comparable future work for Nottinghamshire County Council and Broxtowe Borough Council, this award demonstrates demand for a major, integrated leisure-centre replacement rather than a standalone building project. A credible competitor would need design-and-build capability across a multi-storey public leisure facility, including pool, fitness and changing spaces, alongside demolition and temporary and permanent parking works. The requirement also calls for planning the transition so the existing leisure service can continue until the replacement opens. The selected supplier was a large building contractor, and the competition attracted three bids. Strong quality delivery was the largest part of the award assessment, with the contract sum analysis also material. Relevant experience coordinating complex construction and maintaining continuity around an operating public facility would therefore be useful evidence of capability.
