UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council procured the supply and installation of one Poolpod 3.0 pool access system at Outer West Pool in Newcastle upon Tyne. The requirement covers the Poolpod 3.0 platform lift, associated anchoring and socket arrangements, delivery, installation, commissioning and user training. This is a specialist goods and installation requirement in the lifts and pool-access equipment sector. The work is for a public swimming facility and combines the provision of the equipment with the practical services needed to make it operational. Businesses relevant to this requirement include manufacturers, authorised suppliers and installation specialists able to provide accessible pool-entry systems and associated technical support.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 1 July 2026 to POOLPOD PRODUCTS LTD. Newcastle City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract covers one lot and has an active contract period from 1 August 2026 to 31 January 2028. Its value is £52,000 excluding VAT and £62,400 including VAT. The awarded requirement is classified as lifts. The published outcome identifies POOLPOD PRODUCTS LTD. as the selected supplier. The process therefore records a completed, single-supplier award rather than a competitive tender with evaluated bids or separately reported award criteria.

This award provides a clear indication of Newcastle City Council’s demand for specialist accessibility equipment in swimming facilities, including both supply and practical delivery. A credible competitor for comparable work would need a proven Poolpod 3.0 or equivalent pool-access system, the ability to supply compatible anchoring and socket arrangements, and qualified resources for delivery, installation and commissioning. The requirement also demonstrates that user training forms part of the service expected alongside the equipment. Suppliers are likely to be best placed where they can manage the full installation lifecycle, understand the operational needs of public pools, and provide reliable technical support for a council-owned leisure facility.
