Sportsafe’s longstanding working relationship with ESPO continues

Sportsafe have been working closely with ESPO for over 20 years, and the company’s uninterrupted delivery of gymnasium and fitness equipment maintenance services is set to continue as they retain their position on ESPO framework 107.

Framework 107, Inspection and Maintenance of Indoor Gymnasium, Fitness and Sport Equipment and Outdoor Schools Play and Sport Equipment, offers public sector authorities easy and quick access to quality suppliers who can successfully deliver the maintenance and inspection of indoor gymnasium, fitness and sport equipment, outdoor play and sport equipment, and minor repairs.

Sportsafe has a nationwide network of offices and engineer hubs ensuring our engineers are not more than 90 minutes away from our sites. The company employs over 25 Inspectors and Engineers all of them employed by Sportsafe and DBS checked for our customers site safety.  Sportsafe hold CHAS, Constructionline Gold and Alcumus SafeContractor health and safety accreditations, and they are also a member of AFPE and ROSPA, giving their customers peace of mind that their equipment is in safe hands.

Claire Hunt, Sales & Marketing Director says, “Following 20 years of a close working relationship with ESPO, we are proud to continue delivering this service across the UK.  This award adds to our year of celebration as we mark our 25th anniversary in 2022.”
