Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council is seeking a supplier to manage consignment stock and support the supply of sportswear and leisure equipment for its leisure services. The goods are for Queens Park Health & Fitness and Newton-Le-Willows Health & Fitness. The requirement combines stock management with provision of goods for use at these two leisure venues. It is a services procurement, with leisure equipment and sports facilities operation identified as relevant areas. The delivery locations are associated with the two named venues.

The Council invited offers through an open competition. The enquiry deadline was 19 October 2026 at 12:00 BST, and tender responses were due by 26 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The estimated value is £225,000 excluding VAT (£270,000 including VAT). The contract is due to run from 23 November 2026 to 22 November 2029, an initial term of 36 months, with possible extensions of 12 months at a time up to a further 24 months in total. There is one lot. Evaluation assigns 85% to quality answers and 15% to commercial terms. Responses are submitted through the Chest e-tendering system.

The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is relevant to suppliers able to provide sportswear and leisure equipment while managing stock on a consignment basis and supporting supply across two health and fitness venues. Businesses with the operational capacity to coordinate stock and goods for multiple leisure sites may be well placed to compete. The evaluation places substantially greater weight on quality than on commercial terms, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate how their service and stock-management approach will meet the Council’s needs.
