## Summary

Medway Council procured refurbishment works at Strood Leisure Centre. The requirement covers the centre’s wetside area, specifically refurbishment of the changing area and sauna room. It is construction work for leisure and waterside leisure facilities, including leisure-centre construction work (CPV 45212100, 45212110 and 45242000). The work is for the council in Medway, centred on Strood. This is a single refurbishment requirement rather than a wider facilities-management or operating-services contract. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are contractors able to deliver building and refurbishment works in leisure facilities, particularly works affecting wet areas, changing accommodation and sauna facilities. The public-sector buyer is Medway Council, based at Gun Wharf in Chatham.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold quotation process; the recorded method detail is “below threshold – unknown”. It comprised one lot. Springbank Contractors Ltd was selected and the contract was signed on 15 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 October to 30 November 2026. Its value is £247,130 excluding VAT, or £296,556 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies the requirement as works and records the council’s legal basis under the Procurement Act 2023. The award record does not include a separate award date or a stated evaluation weighting, so the outcome is best understood from the defined refurbishment scope and the quotation route.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist refurbishment within a public leisure facility, with a substantial enough works package to suit an established small or medium-sized contractor. Relevant competitors would need practical experience in leisure-centre construction or refurbishment, including work around wetside environments, changing areas and sauna rooms. They would also need the project-management, site-supervision and trade capacity to coordinate a focused refurbishment programme and deliver the required works within a short contract period. Springbank Contractors Ltd’s selection shows that a contractor of SME scale can be credible for this type of council works package. Firms with a track record of completing comparable leisure or waterside refurbishments, supported by suitable references and reliable delivery controls, would be well placed when this buyer next reviews the requirement.
