Summary of the contracting process

Stoke-on-Trent City Council procured works to replace the ageing filtration infrastructure at the Dimensions swimming pool. The requirement covers modern ceramic microfiltration, ultraviolet disinfection, updated control systems and associated plant upgrades. This is a swimming-pool construction and engineering project, classified under CPV 45212212. Delivery is in Stoke-on-Trent, within the council’s area. The council is the buyer and the work concerns specialist pool plant rather than general building maintenance or routine cleaning. The procurement is relevant to contractors and specialist engineering firms able to design, supply, install and upgrade commercial swimming-pool filtration, disinfection, controls and associated mechanical plant.

The procurement has been awarded following a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One completed lot was awarded to BARR + WRAY LIMITED, an SME based in Glasgow. The award value is £376,263 excluding VAT, or £451,415.60 including VAT. The outcome was recorded on 2 September 2026. The awarded period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. A contract signature was scheduled for 2 September 2026. The procurement used a single lot, and the lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is responsible for the swimming-pool filtration replacement and related plant upgrade works.

This award provides a clear indication of Stoke-on-Trent City Council’s demand for specialist swimming-pool plant renewal at a substantial project scale. Businesses considering future work for this buyer would need credible capability in commercial pool filtration, ceramic microfiltration, ultraviolet disinfection, control-system upgrades and associated mechanical or electrical plant. The requirement favours a contractor able to manage an integrated replacement project, coordinate specialist equipment and deliver construction works around an operational public leisure facility. Relevant experience in swimming-pool infrastructure, plant installation, commissioning and upgrade projects would help establish credibility. The route used was a direct below-threshold award without competition, so suppliers should also understand how the council sources comparable specialist requirements.
