UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process managed by St Helens Council, identified as a public authority in sub-central government, was for the "Purchase of Pool Pod 3.0 Platform lift System for Queens Park Health and Fitness". This project is located in the United Kingdom, specifically in the region referenced as UKD71. The procurement stage of this process has been completed, with the contract awarded on 7th May 2026 and the whole project finalised by 31st May 2026. The procurement was conducted through a direct method, identified as "Below threshold - without competition", focusing on goods in the industry category of equipment for swimming pools. The contract is valued at approximately £45,155.86 excluding VAT, totalling £54,187.03 with the tax included.

This tender is significant for businesses specialising in equipment for swimming pools, particularly those capable of providing accessibility solutions for individuals with disabilities or mobility issues. SMEs, like the successful supplier POOLPOD PRODUCTS LTD based in Glasgow, are particularly well-positioned for similar opportunities due to the direct procurement approach which often suits smaller, specialised businesses. Engaging in such contracts can lead to brand visibility, increased revenue, and entry into public sector markets, especially for companies looking to establish a foothold in the accessibility equipment sector.
