Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow Life (Culture & Sport Glasgow) is procuring a multi-lot framework for fitness equipment and related infrastructure services across Glasgow. The scope covers the supply, delivery, installation and servicing of gym and fitness equipment, including cardiovascular, fixed-strength, cable-based and air-resistance equipment, free weights, plate-loaded equipment, lifting platforms, group cycling equipment, fitness accessories, Pilates reformers and accessible equipment. It also includes digital software technology, audio-visual, audio, lighting and digital-signage equipment, maintenance of existing gym equipment, fitness flooring, wall protection and mirrors. Flooring covers rubber, turf, vinyl, natural wood, sports hall and squash applications. This is primarily a goods procurement, with associated installation, maintenance and service work. The main classification is sports and gym equipment (CPV 37440000).

The buyer reached tender by inviting offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline was 18 September 2026 at 12:00, with bid opening at the same time; the award period began then. The framework is for three years, with an option to extend by up to 12 months. Maximum permitted spend is £4.8 million excluding VAT. There are 11 lots, with several divided into sub-lots, and suppliers may bid across lots or selected sub-lots. Awards may be made to up to two or three suppliers per lot or sub-lot. Quality and price are evaluated, with weightings varying by lot: quality carries 40%, 60% or 65%, and price 35%, 40% or 60%. Samples for most equipment-related lots require at least 60% quality. Framework call-offs use ranked suppliers, with mini-competitions for specified higher-value requirements.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, distributors, installers and specialist service providers covering gym equipment, fitness flooring, digital technology, audio-visual systems, mirrors, wall protection and equipment maintenance. Suppliers should be able to manage end-to-end delivery, including sourcing, logistics, installation, servicing and supply-chain coordination. The buyer requires robust financial standing, including positive net worth, acceptable trading performance and current statutory filings; parent guarantees may support eligible group companies. Bidders need specified employer’s liability, public liability, products liability, professional indemnity and motor insurance. They must provide two comparable examples demonstrating successful delivery of similar fitness equipment contracts or frameworks, including control of budget, timescales, problem resolution and supply-chain management. Mandatory site visits apply to the audio-visual and lighting, flooring, and wall-protection and mirrors requirements. Community benefits and subcontracting obligations also form part of the requirement.
