UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Loughborough University is procuring the supply and installation of gym equipment across several campus gym facilities in Loughborough. The equipment will serve a broad range of users, from elite athletes to students, staff and members of the community. The requirement is divided into three lots: weightlifting racks and associated products; cardio machines and associated products, including treadmills and rowing machines; and resistance machines and associated products, including upper- and lower-body equipment. This is a goods procurement with installation included, covering equipment for different gym environments and user needs.

The University invited tenders through an open competitive flexible procedure. The tender submission deadline was 27 November 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for enquiries was 18 November 2026 at 23:59. The anticipated award decision date was 12 February 2027. All three lots have the same contract period, from 22 February 2027 to 21 February 2032. The estimated gross values are £575,000 for racks, £1,000,000 for cardio machines and £175,000 for resistance machines. Each lot is evaluated on quality (75%), price (20%) and social value (5%). The process includes evaluation, supplier presentations and negotiation, with revised submissions optional.

The opportunity suits suppliers able to source and install gym equipment, with particular relevance to specialists in weightlifting racks, cardio equipment or resistance machines. Bidders can focus on the lot or lots matching their product range; small and medium-sized enterprises are explicitly considered suitable for all three. The University’s facilities serve elite athletes as well as casual student, staff and community users, so suppliers should be prepared to provide equipment for varied users and gym settings. Quality carries substantially more evaluation weight than price, making product quality and the ability to demonstrate a strong overall offer commercially important. Social value also contributes to evaluation. The process includes presentations and negotiation with the leading suppliers in each lot, so bidders should be ready to present their proposals and engage in those discussions.
