## Summary

North Yorkshire Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Virtual and In-Person Fitness Classes Request for Information 662-NYC-CD." This procurement falls under the services category within the sporting services industry and is intended to enhance leisure and wellbeing services across North Yorkshire. The primary focus is on delivering group exercise solutions at 14 leisure and wellbeing hubs, with an emphasis on both in-person and virtual fitness classes. The procurement process is due for a milestone completion by 20th February 2026, with the contract period starting on 1st August 2026 and potentially extending until 31st July 2029. The contract's estimated value stands at £360,000. Interested suppliers are invited to provide insights to help shape a forthcoming tender and may be asked to participate in discovery days.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses specializing in fitness technology and content delivery, particularly those that can offer integrated solutions compatible with existing leisure systems. Companies that provide streaming services, performance analytics, and customer relationship management can also find significant growth potential in supplying North Yorkshire's comprehensive fitness programme. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to compete, with plans to accommodate peak usage, ensure geographical coverage, and include remote access solutions. The requirement for compliance with data protection and high-quality streaming standards suggests an advantage for tech-savvy businesses capable of addressing these criteria effectively.

## Notice

North Yorkshire Council (the Authority) is requesting information from suppliers to help determine the scope and feasibility of its requirement, to understand the range of potential solutions available in the market, and to assist with drafting a potential future tender specification for Virtual and In-Person Fitness Classes. The Authority intends to gather this information through written responses to this RFI. The Authority is also considering holding discovery days, and further information is provided within the document.

### Planning Information

North Yorkshire Council (NYC) seeks to understand the market capability for delivering group exercise solutions that support Active North Yorkshire’s leisure and wellbeing services across 14 leisure and wellbeing hubs. The requirement covers North Yorkshire and aims to provide inclusive, accessible fitness opportunities for residents. Site-based group exercise provision will include licensing, training, and content support for in-house instructors to deliver classes at designated leisure locations. The Authority currently operates approximately 700 fitness classes per week, supplemented by virtual classes during off-peak times. Virtual provision will include: - Studio-based virtual classes delivered onsite within leisure hubs (these do not need to be live). - On-demand fitness content, including classes and workouts for individuals to access remotely at home via digital platforms as part of an integrated virtual membership. Solutions should integrate seamlessly with existing leisure operations to ensure a consistent customer experience. Ideally, solutions should provide links into the Authority’s existing LMS to ensure a seamless customer journey for membership sign-up. Technical requirements include platform-agnostic access via common devices, high-quality streaming and content delivery with minimal latency, compliance with data protection and accessibility standards, and options for performance monitoring and reporting (e.g., usage analytics, engagement metrics). Geographical coverage must span the entire North Yorkshire region, including provision for remote access to mitigate rural isolation. Suppliers should outline capacity for peak usage and contingency measures. https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=101571&TID=100106806&B=
