Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured works to replace the gym floor at Corby East Midlands International Pool. The requirement covers construction and site-preparation work associated with removing and installing a sports-floor surface at the pool facility in Corby. It is a local-authority works opportunity, with the council acting as the buyer. The procurement was reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises based in the United Kingdom. Businesses relevant to this requirement include specialist sports-flooring contractors, commercial flooring installers and construction firms with experience of working in leisure, swimming-pool or other public recreational facilities. The awarded work was classified under construction, site preparation and sporting services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. One lot was used. The tender estimate was £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT), and three bids reached the final stage, all from SMEs. Price carried 60% of the evaluation and quality 40%. The contract was awarded to CAPITAL FLOORS LTD on 28 August 2026 for £49,215.75 excluding VAT (£59,058.90 including VAT). The awarded contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 18 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 19 August 2026 at 16:00, and the enquiry deadline was 10 August 2026 at 16:00.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from North Northamptonshire Council for specialist gym-floor replacement at a public swimming and leisure facility, delivered within a medium-sized works package. A credible future supplier would need practical expertise in sports or gym flooring, site preparation, removal of existing surfaces and installation of durable finishes suitable for intensive public use. Experience of coordinating work in an operational leisure environment would be relevant, particularly where access, safety, cleanliness and disruption to facility users must be managed. The competition attracted three SME bids and was assessed on both price and quality, so suppliers would need a commercially competitive offer supported by a clear delivery method, appropriate workmanship standards and evidence of comparable flooring or construction projects.
