UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Blackpool Borough Council is seeking one contractor to inspect, service and maintain intruder alarms, fire alarms and emergency lighting across its property portfolio, including emergency response when faults or incidents occur. This is an electrical building-services maintenance contract, covering alarm systems and emergency lighting rather than the supply of standalone equipment. The work will be delivered across the Council’s property portfolio in Blackpool. The requirement is classified under electrical equipment and lighting, and repair and maintenance of electrical and mechanical building installations (CPV 50710000). It is a public-sector services opportunity suitable for contractors that can provide planned inspection and maintenance, reactive call-outs and emergency attendance across multiple council properties.

The process has reached tender: the Council invited suppliers to submit offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission allowed in English. Questions had to be submitted by 20 August 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 8 September 2026 at 12:00. The Council expected to complete evaluation and award by 20 October 2026. The estimated gross value is £200,000. The contract is due to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with renewal possible after review and subject to budget; the maximum stated end date is 30 November 2031. One contractor is to be appointed. Evaluation is 40% quality, 20% social value and 40% price. The requirement is identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This opportunity suits an electrical-services contractor with experience maintaining intruder alarms, fire alarms and emergency lighting across a property portfolio, including emergency response. Bidders must be NICEIC or NAPIT Approved Contractors and provide the relevant registration number. They need the people and technical resources to meet UK GDPR and data-subject protection obligations, comply with the Council’s policies and legislation, and deliver the full specification. Personnel may require DBS checks, must hold current yellow CSCS cards, and work must comply with Building Regulations and the Fire Prevention on Construction Site Joint Code of Practice. The business must hold CHAS membership or membership of an SSIP Forum Registered Member, and have or obtain the required employer’s and public liability insurance before award. Quality and social value are significant evaluation considerations alongside price.
