This tender falls under the services category within the healthcare industry, specifically targeting company health services in the UKD42 region of the United Kingdom. Interested parties should note that the tender period concludes on 15 May 2026, at midday, with an enquiry period ending earlier at 8:00 AM on the same day. The council seeks a specialist Occupational Health Physician to support its in-house nurse-led service, operating five days a week, from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. The procurement follows an open competition method, with details accessible via Blackpool’s electronic tendering portal, where registration is free. This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses with expertise in occupational health services, notably those well-versed in providing occupational health collaborations with public undertakings or smaller local entities. It is particularly suitable for SMEs specialising in occupational health services, as the contract emphasises quality and price criteria, including social value. Businesses able to demonstrate relevant experience and personnel expertise, alongside strong contract delivery and contingency planning, will find this to be a promising opportunity. Additionally, the contract is adaptable, with potential renewals extending up to 24 months, subject to local government changes, thus providing flexibility and longer-term engagement prospects. ## Notice Blackpool Council's Occupational Health Service provides a full range of OH services to all departments within the authority, including schools. We also provide services to other small local authorities, wholly owned companies, Academies and ad-hoc requests from small businesses. Our client base is approximately 6,000. We operate between the hours of 8.30am - 4.30pm Monday to Friday. We require a specialist OHP (minimum MFOM - Member of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine) in order to assist and support our in-house nurse-led service to deliver a full range of OH services ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: The contract is subject to being extended incrementally for a total period of up to 12 months + 12 months. The English Devolution White Paper set out the government's vision for simpler local government structures in order to lead to better outcomes for residents, improved local accountability and savings which can then be reinvested in public services. All councils in 2-tier areas and small neighbouring unitary authorities have been invited to develop proposals for unitary local government with the aim of bringing together lower and upper tier local government services in new unitary councils to deliver local government reorganisation. It is likely that within the duration of this contract there may be further development of local government reorganisation that could result in the area and scope of coverage of this contract changing. It is not clear at this stage what the reorganisation will look like. The Contracting Authority reserve the right to modify, review or amend the contract as may become appropriate in order to effectively respond to any future requirements as a result of local government reorganisation. Please note that the Council has elected to set a contract term of less than four years due to the ongoing uncertainty regarding Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) within the region. To ensure the Council maintains the necessary flexibility to adapt to potential changes in governance, statutory boundaries, or service delivery models, a shorter term has been deemed the most prudent approach. This ensures that any successor authority is not disproportionately bound by long-term arrangements during a period of transition, while still providing sufficient stability for the successful delivery of the required services. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034858-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Apr 2026 | | Submission deadline | 15 May 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2026 - 30 Jun 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £152,000 | | Lots value | £152,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BLACKPOOL COUNCIL | | Locality | BLACKPOOL | | Post town | Blackpool | | Postcode | FY1 1NA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD42 Blackpool | | Local authority | Blackpool | | Electoral ward | Talbot | | Westminster constituency | Blackpool South | | Delivery location | TLD42 Blackpool | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85147000 - Company health services ## Release History - 16 Apr 2026 at 15:12 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034858-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034858-2026 16th April 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://procontract.due-north.com/ Tender documents available - reference DN812536 ## Notice URLs - http://www.blackpool.gov.uk/ - https://procontract.due-north.com - https://procontract.due-north.comTenderdocumentationavailableviaourelectronictenderingportal.Inordertoviewanddownloadthedocumentation,youwillfirstneedtoregisterontheportal.RegistrationisfreeofchargeAnyclarificationquestionswillneedtoberaisedviathemessagingsectionoftheportal. - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
