Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Ombudsman Service Limited, a sub-central public authority located in London, has completed its procurement process for the provision of gym management services. The procurement, operating under a limited competition method below threshold, falls under the "services" category, specifically targeting sports facilities operation services. The contracting stage was reached with the award active since 11 December 2025, and the contract is set to run until 11 December 2027, with optional extensions available. The industry is within the wellness domain, and the relevant legal framework followed is the UK Public General Acts 2023/54. This contract is further supported by light-touch procurement regime rules.

This tender presents a strategic opportunity for SMEs like Antidote, which has been successfully awarded the contract, to expand within the wellness services industry.

Companies with expertise in sports facility management and wellness service provision are well-suited to compete for such contracts, thereby gaining a foothold in the public sector market and potentially increasing their client base and revenue streams.
