Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Tyneside Borough Council procured 25 spin bikes for Haven Point Leisure Centre in South Shields. The requirement covers the supply, delivery, installation and maintenance of the bikes through a five-year leasing arrangement. It forms part of the fitness equipment category (CPV 37440000) and is intended to support the leisure centre’s fitness facilities. The buying organisation is the council, with the equipment delivered and installed at Haven Point. The requirement was handled through an existing ESPO framework for fitness equipment, covering supply, delivery, installation and maintenance. This is a goods contract focused on commercial fitness equipment and associated servicing rather than construction or general leisure management.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure: a direct award through the ESPO framework without prior publication of a competition notice. The requirement was evaluated on price. Pulse Fitness was selected as supplier, with one bid recorded. The contract value is £27,917 excluding any separately stated tax treatment, in GBP. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and is active. The arrangement is for a five-year lease of 25 spin bikes, although the published contract record does not provide separate start and end dates. The procurement was treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive under the stated framework direct-award rationale, including the buyer’s existing lease arrangement with the same supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a leisure operator seeking a complete spin-bike solution rather than equipment supply alone. Suppliers competing for comparable work would need to provide commercial-grade spin bikes, manage delivery and installation at a leisure-centre site, and maintain the equipment throughout a leasing arrangement. Experience of supplying fitness equipment through a public-sector framework would be relevant, as would the operational capacity to support a council-owned leisure facility and sustain maintenance performance over a multi-year term. The selection route also shows that framework suppliers able to offer a competitively priced, established solution may be well placed. Businesses outside framework arrangements could use this requirement as evidence of the service, support and leasing capability needed by this buyer.
