Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow Life (Culture & Sport Glasgow) is procuring a multi-lot framework for fitness equipment and related infrastructure services in Glasgow. The requirement covers cardiovascular, fixed-strength, cable-based and air-resistance equipment; free weights, plate-loaded equipment and lifting platforms; group cycling equipment; fitness accessories and products; digital software technology; Pilates reformers; audio-visual, audio, lighting and digital signage equipment; maintenance and servicing of existing gym equipment; fitness flooring; accessible equipment; and wall protection and mirrors. Suppliers may provide outright-purchase equipment, delivery, installation and servicing, with flooring supplied, delivered and installed. The framework includes 11 lots, including sub-lots for flooring, accessible equipment, wall protection and mirrors, and covers fitness equipment and infrastructure services.

The procurement has reached tender: Glasgow Life invited electronic bids through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 18 September 2026 at 12:00 noon, with bid opening and the award period starting at the same time. The framework is for three years, with an option to extend by up to 12 months, and has a maximum permitted spend of £4.8 million, excluding VAT. Up to three suppliers may be appointed to several lots, with lower limits applying to others and sub-lots. Ranked call-offs will generally invite the highest-ranked supplier first; mini-competitions apply above £20,000 for fitness accessories and above £40,000 for flooring. Evaluation combines quality and price, with weightings varying by lot; sample quality thresholds also apply.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, distributors, installers and service providers specialising in commercial gym, leisure, flooring, accessibility, audio-visual or digital fitness solutions. Bidders should be able to manage supply chains and deliver comparable fitness equipment contracts or frameworks on time, within budget and at similar scale. Two relevant examples from the previous three years are required, including how problems were resolved and lessons learned; these are assessed pass or fail. Suppliers must meet financial tests covering positive pre-tax performance over three years, positive net worth, solvency and statutory filings, or provide an acceptable parent guarantee. Required insurance includes £10 million employers’ liability, £5 million public and products liability, £1 million professional indemnity and statutory motor cover. Mandatory site visits apply to lots 6, 8 and 11.
