## Summary

This procurement process was initiated by Blackpool Borough Council for the creation of a new VisitBlackpool website. The process falls under the services category, specifically IT services including consulting, software development, and internet support, as identified by the CPV code 72000000. The procurement follows a below threshold method, with details unknown. The project aims to design, develop, support, and evolve a comprehensive destination website. The procurement stage has reached the award phase, with the contract being activated as of 3 July 2026. The contract period extends until 3 July 2029, with options for renewal. The counsel for this project is Granite Digital (UK) Limited, located in London, and the project will be implemented in the Blackpool region, UKD42.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses experienced in content management systems, end-to-end e-commerce solutions, and integration with destination management systems or alternative APIs. Companies specialising in flexible, agile UX/UI design that adapt to the changing needs of a complex, seasonal destination are particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts. As the council is looking for a partner that can provide comprehensive digital solutions, businesses with these capabilities could facilitate substantial business growth in the digital services sector. Additionally, due to the project's potential for extension, involvement in this procurement could lead to long-term collaboration opportunities.
