UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by Blackpool Council, involves the removal and replacement of four turrets at the top of Blackpool Tower. This project falls under the industry category of refurbishment work, located in the UKD42 region, which includes Blackpool. The process has already advanced to the award stage, with a contract awarded to Haywood Rope Access Ltd on 26th November 2025. The contract is valued at £66,592, including VAT, and spans from late November 2025 to the end of June 2026. The procurement was conducted through a direct method below the threshold, without competition, due to the specific nature and scale of the work required.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialised in construction and refurbishment, particularly those capable of undertaking complex projects at significant heights like Blackpool Tower. Companies with expertise in rope access work, structural reinforcements, or heavy equipment handling stand to benefit significantly. Although the contract has been awarded, similar future opportunities may arise where businesses that can demonstrate strong capabilities in similar domains could be well-suited to compete and secure public sector work. This can lead to substantial business growth for companies with the requisite skills and experience in performing intricate construction tasks.
