UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Wiltshire Council, a sub-central public authority in the United Kingdom, involves planning for the purchase of swimwear and related accessories intended for resale across their leisure centres. This tender is currently in the planning stage and invites businesses to participate in a Pre Market Engagement event scheduled for 11th February 2026 at 13:30 hrs, via Microsoft Teams. The total contract value is estimated at £1,300,000 with a gross value of £1,560,000, and is categorised under the 'goods' main procurement category. The contract period is expected to commence on 1st June 2026 and conclude by 31st May 2031, with potential renewals extending to 2036. The industry classification aligns with 'Swimwear' under CPV code 18412800.

This upcoming contract offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in swimwear production and supply, particularly those with a capacity for scaling operations to meet the demands of large leisure facilities. Organisations that can deliver quality swimwear and accessories suitable for resale in leisure centres would benefit the most, given Wiltshire Council's established network of 16 swimming facilities among its 20 leisure centres. The engagement presents an opportunity to forge a strategic partnership with a public authority, potentially leading to long-term growth and expanded market presence. The early engagement through the planned sessions further helps interested companies to better tailor their offerings to meet the Council's needs.
