Summary of the contracting process

Blackpool Council has awarded a contract for the provision of physiotherapy services as part of their Occupational Health and Employee Wellbeing Service. The successful supplier is Blackpool Physiotherapy Centre Ltd, a local SME based in Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire. The procurement, valued at £80,000, was conducted through a competitive quotation process below the threshold. The contract commenced on the 1st of April 2024 and will end on the 31st of March 2028, encompassing services for the North West region of the United Kingdom. This award followed the tender stage, which closed on the 15th of March 2024.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises specialising in physiotherapy and allied health services. Businesses with expertise in occupational health will find this contract particularly relevant as it involves ongoing referrals for physiotherapy assessments and treatment sessions for council employees. Companies capable of delivering high-quality physiotherapy services, and positioned within the North West region, stand to gain by partnering with public sector organisations such as Blackpool Council. The procurement method ensures that firms below the threshold have competitive access to public contracts, fostering business expansion within the local healthcare industry.
