UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bracknell Forest Borough Council commissioned works to enhance the gym at Bracknell Leisure Centre. The requirement covers refurbishment of the existing gym and the provision of sports goods and equipment, supporting the centre’s planned reopening after the improvement works. The delivery location is Bracknell, Berkshire. This is a leisure-facilities refurbishment opportunity rather than a general construction project: relevant businesses are those able to manage gym refurbishments and supply or install sports and fitness equipment. The council is the public-sector buyer, with Everyone Active involved as the selected supplier. The requirement relates to one complete package of works at the leisure centre, focused on improving an existing public gym facility.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Everyone Active was selected for the works. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 2 July 2026 to 30 January 2027. Its value is £700,000 excluding VAT, or £840,000 including VAT. The contract is active and covers the single gym-enhancement package at Bracknell Leisure Centre. The works were planned to support opening in January 2027. This outcome shows that the council used a non-competitive route for this requirement, rather than an open tender, and that the selected supplier is responsible for delivering the refurbishment and associated sports goods and equipment during the stated contract period.

For a supplier assessing future work for Bracknell Forest Borough Council, this procurement demonstrates demand for substantial leisure-centre gym refurbishment combined with sports and fitness equipment. A credible competitor would need practical experience of refurbishing existing gym environments, coordinating works within an operational public leisure setting, and supplying or integrating suitable sports equipment. The requirement also indicates the importance of delivering a complete enhancement package rather than isolated products or minor repairs. Businesses with the capacity to manage a sizeable refurbishment, control installation and equipment supply, and support a defined reopening programme would be best placed to pursue a similar requirement if it returns to the market. The selected supplier’s large organisational scale also indicates the level of delivery capacity represented by the award.
