Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council bought sports equipment for educational use through Lot 9 of the Scotland Excel Educational Materials contract. The requirement covers the supply of sports equipment rather than installation, construction or a professional service. Delivery was for Fife, Scotland, supporting the council’s education-related public services. The procurement is relevant to manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and specialist suppliers of sports equipment able to serve a local-authority education customer. The classification is sports equipment (CPV 39162000). The selected supplier was Newitt & Co Ltd, an SME based in York, indicating that the requirement was not limited to suppliers located in Fife or elsewhere in Scotland. The arrangement was made as a call-off under the wider Scotland Excel educational materials contract.

This is a completed, retrospective contract award recording the actual call-off value for the period 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. Fife Council used an open procedure, and the contract was signed on 31 March 2026. Newitt & Co Ltd was awarded the single sports equipment lot, under contract CFM0013, at £75,580 including the stated currency of GBP. One bid was recorded, and it was submitted electronically by an SME; the published statistics also record one bid from outside the EU. The contract is marked active. The award relates to the Scotland Excel framework arrangement, so the opportunity reflects a purchase made through that route rather than a newly competed standalone requirement. No award cancellation or termination is recorded.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows a defined local-authority demand for educational sports equipment in Fife at a modest, single-lot scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply a broad enough range of sports equipment for educational settings, manage distribution into Fife and meet the operational requirements of a public-sector call-off. The successful supplier was an SME based outside Scotland, so relevant capability is not confined to large national businesses or local firms. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure and the successful bid was electronic, making familiarity with public-sector tendering and digital bid submission important. Suppliers should also assess whether they can access or work through the relevant Scotland Excel contracting route.
