UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Blackpool Borough Council has successfully completed a public procurement process for the "Upgrade of Indoor Cycling Studio" project, with Johnson Health Tech UK Limited securing the contract. The procurement, which falls under the industry category of fitness equipment and software solutions, involved supplying and installing an integrated cycling software and hardware solution to enhance group cycling activities. The project aimed to modernise the studio at Active Blackpool, located in the UKD42 region, effectively meeting the requirements through a direct procurement method without competition. The significant dates include the contract signing on 24th July 2026, with the implementation scheduled to start on 1st September 2026 and extend until 31st August 2030.

This project presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in fitness and technology sectors. Providing goods such as lighting systems, fitness equipment, and software installations, companies with expertise in these fields can leverage such tenders to expand their market presence. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focusing on innovative, high-quality fitness solutions and compatibility with existing systems would have found it particularly advantageous to engage in similar projects. The tender's nature—awarding the contract based on operational needs and value for money rather than a competitive bidding process—implies opportunities for businesses with well-suited offerings that meet very specific procurement criteria.

Notice Title

Upgrade of Indoor Cycling Studio

Notice Description

This procurement is for the supply and installation of an integrated indoor cycling software and hardware solution to support the enhancement of its group cycling provision and improve the member experience whilst being compatible with Active Blackpool's existing IC bikes. The project includes the installation and commissioning of: * Specialist indoor cycling software capable of delivering both instructor-led and virtual cycling classes. * Associated hardware required to support the operation of the software platform. * New audio and lighting systems to create an high-quality studio environment.
