Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hartlepool College of Further Education bought cardio gym equipment to replace the existing equipment in its college gym. The requirement covered supply, fitting and training on the equipment, rather than equipment supply alone. This is a gym and fitness equipment contract, within the wider category of sports, fitness and play equipment. The college is the buyer, and delivery and installation are for its gym in Hartlepool. The requirement was handled through a sports, fitness and play equipment framework, specifically its equipment lot. The purchase therefore combined the provision of physical gym equipment with on-site fitting and user training for a further education college.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Technogym UK Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 19 October 2026, at an awarded value of £53,600.64. The purchase was made through a restricted procedure without a prior competition notice, using the CPC framework for sports, fitness and play equipment. It was treated as a single lot, with price as the stated award criterion. The college recorded three bids for the lot. The framework route was the stated rationale for the procurement method. The lot itself is marked cancelled, while the award is active and the contract is active; the published data does not explain this difference in status.

For suppliers targeting Hartlepool College of Further Education, this award demonstrates demand for replacement cardio equipment for a college gym, including delivery, installation and training. A credible competitor would need to offer a suitable range of cardio machines and the capacity to fit them in an operational education setting, as well as provide effective handover and user instruction. The buyer used an established sports, fitness and play equipment framework, so framework access covering this type of equipment is commercially relevant. Price was the stated award criterion, making competitive pricing important alongside the ability to deliver the full supply-and-fitting requirement. The selected supplier was a specialist gym equipment company, indicating that focused product expertise and practical installation capability are pertinent to this buyer's requirement.
