## Notice

Blackpool Council is looking to appoint a single supplier to carry out testing of electrical equipment - portable and fixed appliances. Important Note: engineers employed to undertake any activity included in the specification (portable appliance testing and fixed appliance testing) must be qualified electricians who also hold City and Guilds 2377-22. We will disqualify all submissions which do not meet this criteria e.g. if engineers hold PAT C&G qualifications only. Tender documentation is available via Blackpool Council's Electronic Tendering System - The Chest.
