UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Blackpool Council, in collaboration with Blackpool Coastal Housing, initiated a procurement process titled "Mechanical Doors & Gates - Servicing, Inspection & Maintenance," targeting the servicing and maintenance industry. The process commenced with an open tender procedure to appoint a single provider capable of delivering round-the-clock services for mechanical doors and gates across the Blackpool region, classified under the UK's UKD42 area. Initially announced in August 2025, the active tender stage involved a planned contract period from 10th November 2025 to 9th November 2027, with potential extensions up to three additional years, subject to review and budget. Key dates included the enquiry period ending on 26th August 2025 and the submission deadline on 2nd September 2025. However, the tender was cancelled in October 2025 due to a system error resulting in duplicate notices, and the procurement stage was marked complete.

This procurement represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specializing in the repair and maintenance of electrical and mechanical installations, particularly those involving sliding doors, roller-type shutters, and access gates. The contract valued at £540,000 could significantly aid business growth, offering a stable revenue stream over multiple years with the likelihood of extensions. This opportunity is well-suited for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can provide high-quality service, competitive pricing, and social value. Businesses that demonstrate robust capabilities and readiness to meet emergency and routine service calls will find this tender advantageous for expanding their service portfolio and enhancing their market presence in public procurement projects.
