Summary of the contracting process

Newark and Sherwood District Council procured the supply and fitting of a pool cover for Dukeries Pool. This is swimming-pool equipment work, combining supply with installation. The council is the buying organisation, and the requirement is specifically for its Dukeries pool.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Gelder Limited. The council used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 3 September 2025 and runs from 3 September to 2 December 2025. Its value is £30,458 excluding VAT (£36,549.60 including VAT).

For a supplier seeking similar work from Newark and Sherwood District Council, this award shows demand for a pool-cover supplier able to provide and fit the equipment at Dukeries Pool. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that it can deliver both the appropriate pool cover and installation; the requirement combined these elements in one contract. The award went to Gelder Limited, an SME. The procurement used a direct award without competition, so it does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation or specific technical credentials.
