## Summary

West Lancashire Borough Council intends to appoint one supplier to carry out domestic fire risk assessments in the Council’s general-needs blocks of flats. The work is to support the Council’s delivery of assessments when required, across its housing blocks in West Lancashire. This is a professional inspection and risk-assessment service, rather than a works contract.

The procurement is at planning stage: the Council has stated its intention to procure, but has not yet issued an invitation to tender. It expects to publish the full opportunity on 13 October 2026, following preliminary market engagement; expressions of interest through The Chest are expected by 12 October 2026, though expressing interest is not required to access the later tender. The planned 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 work is arranged as one lot. The procurement method and evaluation criteria have not been set out.

The Council says it intends to appoint a single provider, so suppliers should be prepared to deliver the required assessments across its general-needs blocks as they arise. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, making this potentially relevant to specialist fire-risk assessment consultancies as well as larger providers. The stated scope points to experience assessing fire risks in residential blocks of flats and the capacity to respond when the Council requires assessments. No specific qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or technical standards are identified at this planning stage, so suppliers should use the forthcoming tender to establish the detailed requirements.
