## Summary

Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council is procuring a complete turnkey pool water recovery solution for three operational sports centres: Ebbw Vale Sports Centre, Abertillery Sports Centre and Tredegar Sports Centre. The appointed specialist contractor will design, supply, install, integrate, test, commission and hand over the systems, then provide maintenance and monitoring. The works are intended to reduce water consumption, energy demand, sewage discharge and carbon emissions, while improving the long-term efficiency and sustainability of pool plant operations. This is a works requirement involving swimming-pool equipment, machinery and associated construction work. Suppliers will need to coordinate delivery and installation across all three facilities and take responsibility for the solution from design through operational monitoring.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition using its Bravo Solutions e-tendering portal. Clarification questions had to be submitted by 12 noon on 10 September 2026, and tenders by 12 noon on 17 September 2026. The contract period is 5 October 2026 to 31 December 2026. The estimated value is £281,000 excluding VAT, or £337,200 including VAT. There is one lot. Offers are evaluated on technical quality at 60% and cost at 40%. Electronic submission is allowed. Tenderers must complete a Selection Questionnaire, provide technical method statements and upload pricing information. The contract is intended to be completed by 31 December 2026.

This opportunity suits specialist pool-plant, water-recovery, mechanical engineering and building-services contractors able to deliver an integrated solution rather than a standalone equipment supply. Relevant capability includes designing systems for operational swimming centres, managing installation and integration with existing pool-plant infrastructure, testing and commissioning equipment, and providing reliable handover documentation. The successful supplier must also be able to maintain and monitor the systems after installation and demonstrate how the solution will deliver resource, energy, sewage and carbon savings. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses with multi-site project management capacity and experience working safely in live leisure facilities are well placed to compete.
