UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bracknell Forest Borough Council procured works to enhance the gym at Bracknell Leisure Centre, refurbishing the existing gym and supplying sports goods and equipment for the upgraded facility. The stated purpose was to support the leisure centre’s planned opening in January 2027. This is a physical refurbishment and fitness-facility equipment requirement, rather than a standalone equipment supply or routine service. The work is centred on Bracknell Leisure Centre in Bracknell. The council is the public-sector buyer. The selected supplier, Everyone Active, is a large organisation based in Hinckley and operates in the leisure and fitness sector. The requirement covers one lot and combines refurbishment work with the provision of sports and gym equipment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Everyone Active. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, so there was no open tender evaluation or competitive bidding stage. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and has an active status. Its stated contract period runs from 30 January 2027 to 30 January 2027. The contract value is £700,000 excluding VAT, or £8,400,000 including VAT. The award covers the single gym-enhancement lot. The procurement’s recorded evaluation basis is the buyer’s decision to make a below-threshold direct award without competition; no scored award criteria are stated. The tender itself is marked complete, while the contract remains active.

This award shows that Bracknell Forest Borough Council has demand for substantial leisure-centre gym refurbishment combined with sports and fitness equipment supply. Competitors seeking comparable work would need to demonstrate the practical capability to refurbish an existing gym, coordinate building or installation works, and provide suitable sports and gym equipment as one integrated requirement. The scale indicates a need for a supplier with enough financial, operational and delivery capacity to manage a major leisure-facility enhancement rather than a small standalone fit-out. Everyone Active’s selection also indicates that an established, large leisure-sector operator can be well placed for this type of requirement. Businesses with relevant gym refurbishment delivery, equipment sourcing and leisure-centre project management capability should monitor this buyer’s future requirements.
