## Summary

Blackpool Council has conducted a tender process for the "Provision of Geotechnical Desktop Study," aimed at assessing five sites earmarked for potential residential redevelopment. The procurement falls under the category of engineering-related scientific and technical services, with a contract value of £30,000. The tender, which employed a selective procurement method and was classified under a restricted procedure, has now reached the award stage, with the contract being awarded on 30 April 2020 and scheduled to commence on 1 May 2020 and conclude by 31 May 2020. The geographical focus for this work is Blackpool, England, with correspondence directed to the council's contact point, Paul Mullane.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to engage in vital geotechnical assessments before redevelopment projects. Companies specialising in geological, geophysical, or environmental consulting services would be especially well-suited to compete in this space. By being involved in such studies, businesses can expand their portfolio in the rapidly growing property development sector, contributing to local infrastructure while potentially enhancing their market presence.

## Notice

Blackpool Council have identified five sites that are surplus to current requirements and are under consideration for future redevelopment for residential purposes. The Council are seeking options for development and are inviting quotations for a desktop Geotechnical Study prior to carrying out intrusive ground investigation works.
