Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council procured swimming pool equipment for the new Outer West Leisure Centre and Pool in Newcastle upon Tyne. The requirement covered the complete supply and delivery of pool equipment, including installation, testing, commissioning, training and handover. This is a goods contract for specialist swimming-pool equipment rather than general construction or leisure-centre operation. The work suits suppliers able to provide integrated equipment packages and support their installation and technical commissioning at a new public leisure facility. The named buying organisation is Newcastle City Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement was structured as one requirement and was identified under CPV 43324100, equipment for swimming pools. The contract is relevant to manufacturers, specialist distributors, swimming-pool engineering firms and installation contractors with suitable delivery and commissioning capability.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Newcastle City Council used a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline was 13 August 2026 at 12:00 noon. The estimated value was £150,000 excluding VAT (£180,000 including VAT). HS SPORTS LIMITED was selected as supplier. The resulting contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and is valued at £110,411.30 excluding VAT (£132,493.56 including VAT). Its contract period runs from 15 September 2026 to 29 February 2028. Bids were evaluated on price, weighted at 70%, and quality, weighted at 30%. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Electronic submission of bids was allowed. The award is active and the contract is active.

This procurement shows a defined requirement from Newcastle City Council for a specialist swimming-pool equipment package supporting a new leisure-centre development. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply appropriate pool equipment and manage the full delivery chain: delivery to site, installation, testing, commissioning, user training and formal handover. Technical quality matters alongside price, since quality accounted for 30% of the evaluation, while commercial competitiveness remains important because price carried the greater weighting. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, indicating that specialist smaller firms can be relevant where they can demonstrate the necessary technical resources, project coordination and delivery capacity. Manufacturers, specialist suppliers and pool-system installers able to provide an end-to-end service would be best placed to compete when comparable council requirements return.
