Blackpool Council, a public authority functioning at the sub-central government level in the UK, has completed a procurement process to provide domestic abuse support services in Blackpool. The procurement utilised an open procedure under a light-touch regime, indicating a tailored, flexible approach to procurement, and the process reached the award stage on 17th June 2025, with a contract signed on 16th June 2025. The service falls under the health and social work services industry category, and the contract, valued at £1,421,400, covers the period from 4th August 2025 to 3rd August 2028, with the potential for a 24-month extension. The primary location of service delivery is Blackpool, situated within the UKD42 region.
