## Summary

Bradford Metropolitan District Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the provision and installation of pool covers across its swimming facilities, which include six main pools. The award was made on 21st May 2026, following a tender initiation process. The procurement sought a supplier for four pool covers across three pools, and also required mechanical winding mechanisms along with proposals for ongoing service and maintenance of both new and existing equipment. The procurement method was designated as "Below threshold - unknown," and the main procurement category was services. The project, valued at £90,000 (net), aims to enhance the swimming facilities within the Bradford region in the United Kingdom.

This procurement offers businesses, particularly those specialising in swimming pool equipment and services, significant growth opportunities by enabling partnerships with a sub-central government body. Companies adept in the manufacture, supply, and installation of pool equipment, along with repair and maintenance services, such as small to medium enterprises, could have thriving prospects. Given the continuous need for ongoing maintenance and potential future extensions, entities with robust service delivery capabilities stand well-suited to benefit from such engagements. FORGE LEISURE (UK) LIMITED, a selected supplier, exemplifies the type of business that can capitalise on this procurement model.
