## Summary

Blackpool Borough Council commissioned procurement consultancy services to support the redevelopment of the former Post Office in Blackpool. The work covers advising on and leading the redevelopment process, which is expected to use a private-sector-led delivery model. The appointed adviser is responsible for early engagement with the market, preparing the tender documentation, managing the evaluation process and supporting the appointment of a delivery partner. This is a professional services requirement focused on commercial strategy, procurement and project development for a regeneration scheme. Businesses relevant to this requirement are consultancy practices that can help a public authority shape a redevelopment opportunity, test private-sector interest and run a compliant process through to selecting an implementation partner in Blackpool.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Walker Sime Limited, an SME. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 26 August 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £49,920 excluding VAT, or £59,904 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold, using a method recorded as “below threshold - unknown”. There was one completed lot covering the Post Office requirement. The resulting contract is active. The published outcome identifies Walker Sime Limited as the selected supplier for procurement consultancy services delivered in Blackpool. The contract covers the full advisory, market-engagement, tender-preparation, evaluation-management and appointment-support requirement rather than separate awards for individual workstreams.

This award indicates that Blackpool Borough Council uses external specialist advisers for complex property redevelopment procurements where a private-sector delivery model is being considered. A credible competitor for similar work would need experience advising public-sector clients on regeneration or redevelopment, testing the market with potential private-sector partners, and turning an emerging project into clear tender documentation. It would also need the capability to design and manage an evaluation process, support decision-making and oversee the appointment of a delivery partner. Relevant firms are likely to combine procurement consultancy with commercial, development and stakeholder-management expertise, and to demonstrate that they can lead a complete process rather than provide only drafting or administrative support.
