Summary of the contracting process

South Tyneside Borough Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of spin bikes for the Haven Point Leisure Centre in South Shields, classified under the fitness equipment industry category. This contract involved the supply, delivery, installation, and maintenance of 25 spin bikes under a 5-year leasing agreement. The process followed a direct award via the ESPO Framework without prior publication of a call for competition, with Pulse Fitness being awarded the contract on 4 August 2026. Key decision criteria focused on price, and the total value of the contract was £27,917. The purchasing method was classified as limited, adhering to legal frameworks outside the typical procurement directives.

This procurement is an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in fitness equipment, particularly those familiar with leasing agreements. Companies that can provide comprehensive solutions covering delivery, installation, and ongoing maintenance services for fitness equipment would be well-suited to similar opportunities. Establishing relationships with regional authorities such as South Tyneside Borough Council can offer a recurring stream of business, particularly if businesses can leverage frameworks like ESPO to secure contracts through direct awards.
