Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council is procuring the manufacture, supply, delivery, installation and commissioning of furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E), together with joinery services, for a new multi-use leisure centre, swimming pool and library facility in Newcastle upon Tyne. The completed facility is intended to combine leisure, health, wellbeing, learning and community services. Its facilities will include a 25-metre, eight-lane swimming pool, a 17-metre training pool, sports hall, gym, café, children’s play area, community meeting rooms and library. The requirement is primarily for goods, with associated building completion work. It will serve high volumes of daily users across different age groups and accessibility needs, so the scope covers a substantial public-facing facility rather than a standard office or single-purpose fit-out.

The procurement has reached tender: Newcastle City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed through the OPEN portal. The deadline for enquiries was 30 July 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for offers was 4 August 2026 at 12:00. The single contract is valued at £150,000 excluding VAT, or £180,000 including VAT. The planned contract period runs from 15 September 2026 to 31 January 2028. Offers are evaluated on price and quality: price carries 70% of the score and quality 30%. The opportunity is presented as one requirement covering the FF&E and joinery services for the new leisure, pool and library facility.

This opportunity suits a suitably qualified and experienced manufacturer and supplier able to provide an end-to-end FF&E and joinery service. Competitors need to be capable of manufacturing or sourcing the required furniture, fixtures and equipment, coordinating delivery, installing items within a new public facility and completing commissioning. Relevant experience in complex leisure, swimming, library, community or other multi-use buildings would help suppliers demonstrate their ability to work across varied environments and user needs. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist manufacturers, commercial fit-out and joinery businesses, and suppliers able to lead or coordinate a delivery team. Strong quality control and practical installation planning will be important alongside competitive pricing.
