UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council is planning a procurement process titled "Provision of Swimming Pools and Lessons for School Children," with the aim to offer recreational and educational services within Derbyshire. Falling under the industry category of recreational, cultural, and sporting services, this venture is set to be delivered across the United Kingdom, specifically targeting the UKF1 region. Currently, at the planning stage, the procurement is initiated as a tender and is structured as a multi-provider framework agreement. Key dates include the publication of the pipeline notice on 23 April 2026, with a future notice date anticipated by 30 April 2026. The contract period is planned from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2034.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in swimming pool construction, management of recreational facilities, and provision of educational services such as swimming instruction. The project's robust budget of £6,480,000 gross (£5,400,000 net) highlights the potential for substantial economic benefit to qualified suppliers. Companies experienced in forming framework agreements with public authorities, especially those familiar with sub-central government processes, will find themselves well-positioned to compete. This initiative offers extensive collaboration and growth prospects for firms aiming to expand their presence in the educational and recreational services sector.
