Summary of the contracting process

Clackmannanshire Council’s Sport and Leisure service set up a framework for purchasing and replacing sports equipment as it reaches the end of its useful life. The requirement covers a wide range of equipment used across several teams, including outdoor sports, field sports, and racquet and court sports equipment. Equipment needs vary from year to year, so the framework is intended to support different purchases over time. The buyer is Clackmannanshire Council, and the work is for its Sport and Leisure service. The award lists three appointed suppliers: Decathlon UK, Findel Education Ltd and RJM Sports Ltd.

The procurement has been awarded and an active contract is recorded. The Council selected Decathlon UK, Findel Education Ltd and RJM Sports Ltd for the framework. Its stated award value is £49,744; this is the framework value, not a guaranteed order or income for the appointed suppliers. The framework sets terms for potential call-offs during its duration, but the Council has no obligation to place orders and appointment carries no guaranteed volume. Three bids were recorded. The published information does not give an award date, contract dates or duration, or a detailed evaluation basis. The procurement was for goods and used a framework arrangement; the award describes the framework as a route for placing future purchases as equipment requirements change year by year.

For suppliers tracking this buyer’s recurring sports-equipment requirements, the award shows demand for replacement equipment across several Sport and Leisure teams, spanning outdoor, field, racquet and court sports. The range and changing annual mix favour suppliers able to source and supply varied sports equipment, respond to differing requirements and support replacement purchasing as existing equipment reaches the end of its life. Three suppliers were appointed, indicating that the buyer used a multi-supplier framework rather than relying on one provider. A credible competitor would need breadth across the relevant equipment categories and the capacity to fulfil changing call-off needs. Framework appointment alone does not mean a supplier will receive orders: the Council is not committed to purchasing through it or to any minimum volume.
