## Summary

Armagh, Banbridge & Craigavon Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority under Northern Irish devolved regulations, commissioned a procurement process for the provision and installation of a pool hoist/disabled access system for the Orchard Leisure Centre's swimming pool. The procurement, conducted through an open competition below the threshold, was awarded to Poolpod Products Ltd. The procurement focused on acquiring goods related to lifting and handling equipment and medical aids to enhance accessibility. The contract, valued at £54,246, was signed on 12 May 2026, with performance running from 14 May to 30 September 2026. The entire process, from tender initiation to contract award, aimed to ensure safe and dignified access for users with reduced mobility, in alignment with legislation ID 2023/54, and the legal basis of the procurement was defined under UKPGA.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in the manufacturing and installation of accessibility solutions such as hoists and platform lifts. Companies with expertise in medical aids, particularly those servicing customers with mobility challenges, stand to benefit from partnering with public authorities looking to improve their facilities. The competitive procurement process was particularly well-suited for SMEs due to the open competition method and lot configurations promoting small business participation. The emphasis on price and quality in the award criteria underlines the potential for businesses to highlight the value and effectiveness of their solutions when engaging with public sector buyers. This project not only enables suppliers to secure valuable public sector contracts but also supports innovation in accessibility technologies.
