Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured works to replace the spa at Corby East Midlands International Pool in Corby. The requirement covers site preparation and installation services associated with the replacement. It is a construction and specialist pool-facilities project rather than a general goods supply contract. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work is for its international pool facility. The procurement was arranged as one completed lot. The selected supplier, EURO POOLS SERVICE LIMITED, is based in Glasgow and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement was suitable for a specialist contractor able to undertake physical works at an operational or public swimming-pool site, including preparation of the site and installation of replacement spa equipment or related facilities.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to EURO POOLS SERVICE LIMITED. The award was made on 17 March 2026 and the contract was signed on 3 August 2026. The contract period runs from 4 August to 30 August 2026, with a maximum extent to 1 September 2026; renewal is allowed for an extension due to publishing issues. The awarded value is £85,998 excluding VAT and £1,031,976 including VAT. This was a below-threshold limited competition using a framework agreement with an open framework scheme. Two bids were received, both reaching the final stage, and both were from SMEs. The award was for the single lot, which is complete. No cancellation or termination is recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from North Northamptonshire Council for specialist spa replacement works at a major public pool, delivered through a below-threshold limited competition and involving a framework route. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in site preparation, installation and specialist swimming-pool or spa facilities work, with sufficient capacity to complete a concentrated replacement project within a short delivery window. Experience working safely and reliably in public leisure facilities would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where access, disruption and coordination with the council’s pool operations matter. The result also shows that an SME can compete successfully for this type of council works requirement. Businesses with in-house installation teams, relevant project experience and the ability to work through framework-based limited competitions are the closest fit.
