Summary of the contracting process

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council has awarded the contract for the operation of a beach fitness area at Boscombe Beach to FITNESS360 LTD. This procurement falls within the services category, specifically under sporting services, and is designated as a concession. The procurement method was direct, below the threshold, and without competition, illustrating a simplified award process facilitated by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council, classified as a sub-central government public authority. The contract was signed on 17th December 2025, following its completion phase, and FITNESS360 LTD will operate the fitness area from 11th January 2026 until 10th January 2029. The contract carries a gross value of £54,000, set in the UKK24 region of the United Kingdom, specifically Bournemouth.

The establishment of this beach fitness area presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the sporting and recreational services industry, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to expand their operations and visibility in the sector. Given the direct award method used in this procurement, businesses adept at utilising local resources and forming strong partnerships with local authorities may find similar opportunities rewarding. Although in this instance direct procurement without competition was employed, it demonstrates the Council's commitment to fostering local enterprise and enhancing community recreational facilities, providing potential growth avenues for businesses capable of delivering specialised fitness and sporting solutions.
