Summary of the contracting process

Bracknell Forest Borough Council commissioned works to enhance the gym at Bracknell Leisure Centre, including refurbishment of the existing gym and provision of sports goods and equipment. The purpose was to prepare the facility for its planned opening. This is a leisure-facilities refurbishment and gym-equipment requirement, rather than a general construction project. The work is located at Bracknell Leisure Centre in Bracknell. The council is the buying organisation, and Everyone Active was the selected supplier. The requirement covered one package of work and combined physical refurbishment with the supply and installation or use of sports and fitness equipment. Businesses operating in leisure-centre development, gym refurbishment, sports-equipment supply or integrated leisure-facility delivery would find the requirement most relevant.

The procurement reached award stage, with the contract awarded to Everyone Active through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and was scheduled to run on 30 January 2027 only. Its reported value was £700,000 excluding VAT and £8.4 million including VAT. The contract was terminated on 7 September 2026. The termination notice states that the contract details notice was cancelled because the total including VAT and contract dates were incorrect; corrected contract details were published under a separate process. The procurement and its single lot are recorded as complete. The award itself is recorded as active, while the related contract is terminated. No competitive evaluation basis is recorded for this direct award.

This procurement shows Bracknell Forest Borough Council’s demand for a substantial, integrated gym-enhancement project at a public leisure centre. A credible future supplier would need to combine refurbishment delivery with knowledge of gym layouts, fitness environments and sports or exercise equipment, rather than offering only general building work or standalone product supply. Relevant experience would include upgrading an existing operational leisure facility and coordinating equipment-related requirements within a fixed opening programme. The selected supplier, Everyone Active, is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the buyer used a provider able to deliver the requirement at significant scale. The direct, below-threshold route also shows that the council has previously used a non-competitive procurement approach for this type of work.
