Summary of the contracting process

Knowsley Council, a sub-central government public authority, recently completed the procurement process for the refurbishment of the Volair Halewood Gym in Huyton, UK. The project involved remodelling the fitness gym to modern standards with the addition of both trendy concepts and traditional cardio and strength equipment. This procurement, classified under the works category and governed by legal framework 2023/54, employed a limited competition method under a below-threshold procurement scheme. The award was issued on 17th October 2025, with the contract effective immediately from that date until 31st July 2030, accumulating a gross value of £137,432.88.

With the contract awarded to Fitness Warehouse Ltd, trading as Gym Gear, businesses in the upgrading and supply of gym equipment space should take note of Knowsley Council's modernisation agenda. This opportunity is a testament to the potential growth for suppliers specialising in refurbishment works and fitness equipment. SMEs like Gym Gear that can offer modern fitness solutions are in a prime position to compete for similar future procurements. This procurement highlights specific opportunities for enterprises capable of delivering innovative and comprehensive solutions for gym refurbishment projects.
