Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford bought specialist sports rehabilitation gym equipment for its new Thrive Health and Wellbeing Centre in Salford. The requirement covered supply, installation and commissioning for a first-floor rehabilitation clinic and gym serving a student-led service, where staff supervise students. The facility is intended to support musculoskeletal injury assessment, injury prevention and performance enhancement, knee and tendon clinics, injury-risk education, sports massage, stretching, manual therapy and recovery. The equipment is for the gym supporting these services, rather than for general fitness provision. The procurement was for sports goods and equipment, delivered in Salford, Greater Manchester.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. The University ran a below-threshold open competition, with one bid received. KEISER UK LIMITED won the contract, awarded on 10 September 2026, for £64,998.50 excluding VAT (£77,998.20 including VAT). The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 28 December 2027. The original estimated value was £75,000 excluding VAT (£90,000 including VAT); bids were due by 28 August 2026, with enquiries closing on 20 August 2026. There was one lot, marked suitable for SMEs. Evaluation weighted adherence to the specification at 50%, commercial factors at 30%, service and delivery at 15%, and warranty period at 5%.

For suppliers considering similar work for the University of Salford, this award shows demand for a complete specialist sports rehabilitation equipment package for a teaching clinic and gym. A credible competitor would need to supply equipment that closely meets a detailed technical specification, and demonstrate dependable installation, commissioning, service and delivery arrangements, alongside a suitable warranty. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, and the winning supplier was an SME; a smaller specialist supplier can therefore be relevant if it can deliver the full scope and evidence technical compliance. The single bid resulted in an award, indicating that the buyer proceeded with a limited field of competition. Suppliers active in sports and rehabilitation equipment, with the capacity to support installation and after-sales obligations, are the closest fit.
