Summary of the contracting process

Stoke on Trent City Council has completed a procurement process for purchasing gym equipment for the Wallace Centre, situated in Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom (UKG23 region). The procurement was initiated on 17 April 2026, focusing on the award and contracting stage of the process. It follows a direct procurement method, below the threshold without competition, indicating that the process did not involve an open competitive tender. The purchase falls under the industry category of sports goods and equipment. The contract was awarded to GYM SOLUTIONS LIMITED on 10 April 2026, with the contract active between 10 April 2026 and 10 May 2026.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers of sports goods and gym equipment. Companies that excel in delivering quality gym equipment and have a capacity to fulfil demands within tight schedules can leverage tenders similar to this for expansion. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), such as GYM SOLUTIONS LIMITED, which has successfully secured this contract, demonstrate the viability for SMEs in direct award processes. Businesses based in or able to supply to the Stoke-on-Trent area and those familiar with sub-central government procurement requirements will be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders.
