UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, a public authority within the sub-central government category, is initiating a pre-market engagement exercise to explore interest in a procurement process. This process aims to secure a supplier for designing layout, supplying equipment, and providing services for fitness suites at their leisure centres. This announcement, currently in the planning phase, involves the procurement of goods and associated services within the fitness equipment industry, under the CPV codes for various types of fitness and leisure apparatus. The engagement, set in Enniskillen, UK (region UKN0G), has a critical milestone with responses due by 9th December 2025 at noon.

This pre-market engagement offers businesses in the fitness equipment sector an opportunity to expand by potentially providing comprehensive solutions, including design, supply, and maintenance services. Companies specializing in fitness apparatus, aerobic training equipment, weight, and resistance equipment, along with those offering corresponding installation services, are well-positioned to benefit. This initiative, with an estimated contract value of £720,000 (gross), creates a foundation for establishing long-term partnerships with the public sector, thereby supporting business growth and diversification into government contracts.
