What is being bought

Published requirement description

North Lanarkshire Council (“NLC”) have made the commitment to improve the health and fitness offering by investing in a new gym equipment across their full suite of gyms. To achieve we will tender our requirements through an Open procedure to create a framework agreement to support the refurbishments at each site.

An overview of the requirements of this tender are to supply, deliver, install, and maintain the below:

Cardiovascular and strength machines

There will also be an expectation of the following from successful contractors:

Maintenance of gym equipment will be required throughout the length of the partnership, design and marketing support, staff training.

NLC are looking to forge an ongoing relationship with suppliers to ensure the highest quality of service for customers. On this basis suppliers are expected to provide details of the benefits which they can offer as part of the contract that will have a direct impact on the level of customer service provided both within NLC facilities and within the wider community.

A schedule across a 5 year timespan will allow each health and fitness facility to be improved with a strategic approach of both improving membership sales and customer retention throughout.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Cardio and Fixed Strength 2022-2027” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

Publisher note: TENDERERS PLEASE NOTE: Police Scotland identified a number of business areas which have a high risk of infiltration by Serious and Organised Crime groups; this Framework belongs to one such area and as such the Authority reserves the right to include enhanced probity checks prior to any contract award, including sharing tenderer information with Police Scotland. The tender pack includes a schedule for the Declaration of non-involvement in serious organised crime; this is a mandatory tender submission requirement for all tenderers. (SC Ref:748952)
