Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Gwynedd, a public authority part of the central government based in Caernarfon, UK, has finalized a direct award contract for the inspection and maintenance of indoor and outdoor sports equipment. This contract targets educational institutions including primary, secondary, and special schools under Gwynedd Council. The contract was awarded on 9th October 2025 to Sportsafe UK Ltd, a supplier that had been providing similar services through an existing framework. The procurement method utilised was the direct award due to the supplier's prior involvement and the framework's provision for such procurement. The agreement, valued at £54,000 gross, is scheduled to commence on 26th October 2025 and will run until 26th October 2028, with potential extensions up to 2030.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in repair and maintenance services, especially in the playground and sports equipment sector. Given the direct award nature of this procurement, businesses already engaged in existing frameworks or those with similar contract experience would find such tenders advantageous. This opportunity aligns well for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like Sportsafe UK Ltd, which successfully secured the contract due to its existing service delivery record. The tender underscores the value of maintaining ongoing relationships with public authorities and being part of relevant procurement frameworks.
