## Summary

West Lancashire Borough Council intends to appoint one provider to carry out fire risk assessments in the Council’s general-needs blocks of flats, as required. This is a professional fire-safety assessment service, within the broader field of engineering and inspection services. The work is for the Council’s housing blocks in West Lancashire, Lancashire. The provider would support the Council by delivering assessments across those properties; the stated scope does not set out particular assessment methods or deliverables.

The process is at planning: the Council has signalled its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. It expects to publish the full opportunity on 13 October 2026. The Council has invited suppliers to register interest in advance, by submitting an expression-of-interest form through its procurement messaging centre; the stated date for this advance engagement is 12 October 2026. The expected contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with a possible extension to 30 November 2031. The estimated value is £340,000 excluding VAT (£408,000 including VAT). The Council expects to appoint a single provider. No evaluation basis or procurement procedure is set out at this stage.

The work is suited to suppliers with the expertise and capacity to deliver fire risk assessments across general-needs blocks of flats for a local authority. The Council has indicated that small and medium-sized businesses are suitable for the contract, so smaller specialist assessors may be relevant as well as larger providers. Its stated requirement is for one provider able to support assessments when required. The process is still at the planning stage, so suppliers can use the advance engagement period to register interest and prepare for the later tender. The stated scope does not set out specific qualifications, accreditations or experience thresholds.
