Summary of the contracting process

The Borough Council of Newcastle-under-Lyme has initiated a procurement process for the maintenance and servicing of pool water treatment systems and moveable floors at the Jubilee2 leisure facility. The main procurement category is services, specifically within the repair and maintenance sector. This opportunity is located in Newcastle-under-Lyme, United Kingdom, falling under the UKG23 region. The procurement process, previously tagged as active, has since been cancelled due to a local government reorganisation, with a plan to issue a new tender notice with amended contract terms. Initially, the tender was expected to commence on 1st October 2029 with a duration of three years, including a potential one-year extension. Key dates included the tender period ending on 14th July 2026, and enquiries closed on 22nd June 2026.

This tender offers a substantial business opportunity for companies specialising in maintenance services, providing a potential £141,408 in contract value. The opportunity is particularly suited to SMEs and VCSEs, given the open competition procurement method, which allows for wide participation. Businesses with experience in pool maintenance and the capability to ensure high-quality service delivery stand to benefit significantly. The requirements include maintaining complex water and filtration systems, along with chemical dosing and UV systems, which presents a chance for specialised companies to leverage their expertise and expand their operations in public sector contracts.
