## Summary

Chorley Council, a sub-central government public authority, is leading a procurement process for the acquisition of a suite of gym equipment. The process is in the tender stage, inviting suppliers to provide branded sports goods and equipment, with an estimated contract value of £480,000. This open procedure is occuring in the UKD47 region of the United Kingdom. Tender submissions are due by 6th July 2026, with the enquiry period closing shortly before on 29th June 2026. Successful contracts are set to commence on 28th September 2026, concluding by 29th January 2027.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in sports and gymnasium equipment to expand their market presence and grow their business with a government client. Given the inclusion of multiple Lots such as "Resistance & Cardio Equipment" and "Free Weights & Lifting Platforms", the procurement is particularly suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can provide high-quality products. Companies with a strong focus on their product quality and social value integration alongside competitive pricing stand a good chance of attaining one or more of the awarded contracts through this open and competitive tendering process.

## Notice
