Summary of the contracting process

Elmbridge Borough Council procured refurbishment works at Hurst Pool in Elmbridge. The programme is intended to extend the pool’s life and improve the customer experience through modern changing rooms and upgraded décor throughout. It supports the council’s continuing investment in local communities, including health and wellbeing. The work covers construction associated with a swimming pool and installation of changing rooms (CPV 45212212 and 45212230). The council is the buyer and the delivered works are in the United Kingdom, for the Hurst Pool facility. This is a public-sector building and leisure refurbishment requirement rather than a supply-only opportunity, suited to contractors able to coordinate pool-related construction, changing-room installation and wider internal refurbishment works as one programme.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Elmbridge Borough Council used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. The contract was awarded to ETEC CONTRACT SERVICES LIMITED, an SME, and the contract was signed on 24 July 2026. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 25 January 2027. Its value is £1,470,048.32 excluding VAT and £1,764,057.90 including VAT. The awarded requirement is classified as works. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement used a limited route rather than an open competition. The outcome provides a clear example of the council’s chosen route for this below-threshold refurbishment and the scale of its Hurst Pool investment.

For a supplier that did not win this requirement, the award indicates demand for substantial leisure-facility refurbishment combining swimming-pool construction work, changing-room installation and improvements to the customer environment. A credible competitor for a similar future requirement would need to demonstrate the practical capability to manage these workstreams together, coordinate construction activity within an operating or recently used public leisure setting, and deliver a complete refurbishment programme rather than isolated decorating or supply tasks. Relevant experience should include swimming-pool or comparable leisure-facility works, modern changing-room delivery, internal finishes and programme management. The selected supplier’s SME status also shows that this scale of council works can be delivered by a specialist smaller contractor with sufficient capacity, organisation and relevant delivery experience.
