## Summary

Blackpool Council is seeking a qualified structural engineering firm for the "Structural Repairs and Maintenance to Blackpool Tower" project, classified under miscellaneous repair and maintenance services. This procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the contract period set from 22 January 2019 to 1 April 2023. Initial repairs are scheduled during the operational closure of the Tower from January to March 2019, after which ongoing maintenance will be needed until 2022. The project is based in Blackpool, North West England, and involved an open procurement method.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in structural engineering and maintenance services, particularly those with experience in heritage sites. Firms that can demonstrate a strong track record of delivering similar projects and adaptability in working under operational constraints will be well-positioned to compete. Collaboration with site management will be essential, especially given the need for some public access during the initial work phase. Businesses looking for long-term contracts in the services sector may find this particular procurement attractive.

## Notice

Blackpool Council is looking to appoint a suitably experienced and qualified structural engineering firm in order to undertake structural repairs during an initial period of operational closure, January 2019 - March 2019; it should be noted that although the Blackpool Tower Eye is closed to the public for the majority of time during this period, there is a requirement for some public opening and the Tower will remain a live site. It is essential for the successful bidder to work closely with Merlin in this regard so as to complete the tasks required in the time period available while implementing behaviour and methods appropriate of such a site. Further maintenance and repairs are required to be undertaken 2019 - 2022 on an ad-hoc basis as identified by annual inspections and surveys. The successful Contractor must clearly demonstrate the ability to meet our requirements and who offers the most economically advantageous tender. Please note, this opportunity is subject to confirmation of funding approval.
