The requirement is for gymnasium and fitness equipment, supplied by Fitness Warehouse Ltd trading as Gym Gear. This is a goods procurement focused on equipping facilities used by on-call firefighters for operational fitness purposes. The buyer is Kent Fire & Rescue Service, a public-sector emergency service based in Maidstone. The scope is a single equipment requirement rather than a wider facilities-management or training-services contract, so relevant businesses are manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of commercial gym equipment able to support fire and rescue service fitness facilities in Kent. The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Kent Fire & Rescue Service made a direct award through ESPO framework 345_24, Fitness Equipment, lot 2, using an award procedure without prior publication of a competition. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and awarded to Fitness Warehouse Ltd. Its value is £107,271. The contract runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2029. The stated award basis was price. The tender record also marks its single lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the published outcome therefore identifies Fitness Warehouse Ltd as the appointed supplier. One bid was recorded for the lot. This award shows that Kent Fire & Rescue Service buys commercial gym equipment to support operational fitness training at its on-call fire stations, using an established public-sector framework route and selecting on price. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would include businesses with a broad range of gymnasium equipment suitable for workplace or operational training environments, and the ability to supply equipment across Kent. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate competitive pricing, dependable distribution and the capacity to equip multiple fire-station facilities as required. Experience supplying public-sector, emergency-service or other occupational fitness facilities would help show an understanding of robust equipment requirements and operational use. ## Notice Kent Fire and Rescue have appointed Fitness Warehouse Ltd T/A Gym Gear to provide the gym equipment required for operational fitness training at the on call fire stations.
