UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Medway Council is procuring refurbishment works for the wetside area of Strood Leisure Centre. The requirement covers construction work for leisure and waterside leisure facilities, including the works needed to refurbish the centre’s wetside area in line with the Council’s specification of requirements and contract terms. Delivery is in Chatham, Kent. This is a public-sector construction opportunity for contractors working on leisure facilities, leisure-centre construction or waterside facilities. The buyer is Medway Council, a local public authority. The work is focused on one leisure-centre refurbishment project rather than a supply-only requirement, so it is relevant to construction businesses that can manage building works within an operational leisure-facility context and deliver the defined requirements set out by the Council.

The process has reached tender: Medway Council invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot. Enquiries were due by 7 August 2026 at 5pm, and offers were due by 18 August 2026 at 5pm. Electronic submission was allowed through the Council’s e-sourcing arrangements. The contract period set by the buyer runs from 7 September 2026 to 30 October 2026. The estimated value is £300,000 excluding VAT, or £360,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on quality at 65%, price at 30% and social value at 5%. The opportunity is below the applicable threshold and the procurement is for works. The contract is intended to be awarded for the refurbishment project described in the specification.

This opportunity suits construction contractors and refurbishment specialists able to deliver leisure-centre and waterside facility works. It is explicitly identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it potentially relevant to businesses that can take responsibility for a defined refurbishment project without the scale associated with a major multi-site programme. Suppliers should be able to interpret and deliver a Council specification of requirements, manage construction activity for a leisure facility, and work to the Council’s contract terms. The evaluation gives the greatest weighting to quality, so businesses with a strong technical delivery approach and relevant leisure, leisure-centre or waterside construction experience are well placed to compete. Social value also forms part of the assessment.
