Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council procured a single-supplier framework for annual safety inspections, maintenance and repairs to physical education equipment, outdoor equipment and play areas. The service covers education establishments across Glasgow, including gymnasiums, playgrounds, soft-play areas, games halls, sports halls, multi-use games areas and fitness suites, as well as community gyms. The requirement is a services contract concerned with keeping equipment and recreational facilities safe, maintained and usable. It includes all elements of inspection, maintenance and repair, rather than separate packages for different types of site or equipment. The council is the buying organisation and the work is delivered at its education establishments and community gyms throughout Glasgow. The relevant classification is CPV 50870000, for repair and maintenance services of playground equipment.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Glasgow City Council used an open procedure for one lot, with electronic submission and a sole supplier. The framework value and contract value are £360,000. The tender deadline and bid opening were 27 April 2026 at 12:00, and the contract was signed on 8 June 2026. The contract period is 1,440 days, with the framework expected to run for four years; recurrence is indicated for October 2029. Sportsafe UK Ltd was awarded the contract. Evaluation gave 65% to price and 5% to Fair Work First. Three bids were received, all from SMEs. Bidders needed to provide two relevant examples from the previous three years and achieve at least 60 out of 100 on that technical question.

This award demonstrates established demand from Glasgow City Council for a supplier able to inspect, maintain and repair a broad range of physical education, outdoor play and fitness equipment across many public sites. A credible future competitor would need practical experience covering education services and community gyms, with capability to manage varied equipment and facilities through a single service. The selection process favoured evidence from two comparable projects, including client details, contract value and dates, project scope, delivery roles and specialist subcontractors. Suppliers also need suitably qualified named staff, robust health and safety, environmental and quality-control arrangements, and strong financial standing. Significant employer’s, public and products liability cover, professional indemnity insurance, and reliable subcontractor payment and supply-chain monitoring would also be important.
