UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Sunderland College is procuring gym equipment for the new Wansbeck Campus. The requirement covers the provision of sports and gymnasium equipment, including equipment used for educational purposes. The wider college group trades as Sunderland College, Hartlepool Sixth Form, Northumberland College and Education Partnership North East. The buying organisation is City of Sunderland College, based in Sunderland. The equipment will be delivered for use at the new Wansbeck Campus. This is a goods requirement rather than a works or services contract, and is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of gym and sports equipment that can support a college campus installation and supply requirement.

The procurement reached tender: the college invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. There is one lot. Tender responses and associated documents were to be submitted electronically through the EPNE e-tendering system. The deadline for both enquiries and tender submissions was 24 August 2026 at 12:00 noon. The planned contract period is from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The published gross estimated procurement value is £0, while the lot value is recorded as AED 0. Offers are evaluated on cost at 40%, quality at 35%, social value at 15% and added value at 10%. The requirement is below the applicable threshold.

This opportunity suits suppliers with practical experience in gymnasium and sports equipment, particularly businesses able to identify suitable products, manage supply to a new education campus and provide equipment aligned with educational use. Manufacturers, specialist fitness-equipment distributors, installers and capable resellers may be well placed to compete, provided they can prepare a complete electronic tender response and support the college’s requirements over the planned contract term. Commercial competitiveness matters because cost carries the greatest evaluation weighting. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate product quality, meaningful added value and social-value commitments, since these together account for 60% of the evaluation. The opportunity is a single-lot requirement.
