Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council has completed a public procurement process for the supply and installation of the Poolpod 3.0 system at the Outer West Pool. This contract, awarded to POOLPOD PRODUCTS LTD., falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on lift systems. The procurement was carried out through a direct method below the threshold and did not involve competition. The contract was signed on 1st July 2026, and the project's implementation period spans from 1st August 2026 to 31st January 2028. The primary location for the supply and installation work is in the Newcastle Upon Tyne area, UKC22 region.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the pool and leisure equipment sector looking to expand their portfolio in governmental contracts. Due to the specialised nature of the Poolpod 3.0 access system and the requirement for delivery, installation, commissioning, and training, companies experienced in manufacturing and installing lift systems would be ideally suited to similar opportunities. Even though this specific contract has been awarded through a direct process without competition, it highlights the importance of being prepared for potential future tenders in similar categories.
