UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent Fire and Rescue Service procured a managed service for T97 treadmills and other gym equipment at its fire stations and sites in Kent. The requirement covers a five-year warranty upgrade pack for the T97 treadmills previously supplied by Fitness Warehouse Ltd trading as Gym Gear, together with yearly service and maintenance visits for all treadmills and supplied gym equipment. This is a specialist equipment maintenance and warranty support service rather than a purchase of new fitness equipment. Businesses relevant to this requirement include fitness equipment manufacturers, suppliers, servicing firms and maintenance contractors with the technical ability to support commercial treadmills and associated gym equipment across multiple operational sites.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold procedure. Fitness Warehouse Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031. Its value is £63,750 excluding VAT, or £76,500 including VAT. The award covers one requirement for equipment repair and maintenance services. The arrangement combines a five-year warranty upgrade for the T97 treadmills with annual servicing and maintenance visits for the treadmills and other gym equipment supplied to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The tender and lot status are complete, while the award and contract are active.

This procurement demonstrates an established requirement for planned, multi-site servicing of operational fitness equipment within a fire and rescue service. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strong knowledge of T97 treadmills, the ability to deliver warranty support and annual preventative maintenance, and the capacity to visit fire stations and other service sites reliably. Experience servicing mixed gym equipment would be relevant because the requirement extends beyond the named treadmills. Suppliers would also benefit from understanding the demands of maintaining equipment used across public-sector operational locations, including consistent scheduling, technical reporting, responsive fault handling and continuity of support over a long-term managed-service arrangement.
