## Summary

Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Authority procured gymnasium equipment together with servicing and maintenance. The requirement covers the supply of fitness equipment and ongoing support for the Authority’s facilities. Delivery and service locations span the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West of England. The buyer is a regional or local public authority responsible for public order and safety. This opportunity is therefore relevant to suppliers able to provide gym equipment alongside planned or reactive servicing and maintenance across a broad England-wide footprint, rather than to equipment-only distributors without an associated support capability.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a further competition under ESPO Framework 345_24 Fitness Equipment, Lot 2. The limited award procedure was conducted without a prior call for competition, using the framework’s terms. Gym Gear (Fitness Warehouse Limited) was awarded the requirement on 3 August 2026. The active contract is valued at £122,045 and was signed on 3 August 2026. Three bids were recorded. Evaluation weighted price at 40%, with quality covering goods (20%), service and maintenance (20%), locations (10%), business continuity (5%) and social value (5%). The single lot included an optional 12-month extension. The lot is recorded as cancelled, although the award and contract are active.

This award demonstrates established demand from Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Authority for a combined equipment, servicing and maintenance solution delivered across multiple English regions. A credible future competitor would need to offer suitable gymnasium and fitness equipment, dependable maintenance and servicing arrangements, and operational coverage across a wide geographic area. The evaluation also shows that technical quality mattered as much as price: suppliers needed to demonstrate the quality of their goods, service and maintenance model, geographic coverage, business continuity planning and social value. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist business could compete where it can evidence sufficient capacity, resilience and coordinated delivery through the relevant framework route.
