Blackpool Community Equipment Service
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Blackpool Council, a public authority within the sub-central government tier of the United Kingdom, is in the planning stage of its procurement process for establishing new community equipment contracts. The initiative, titled "Blackpool Community Equipment Service", operates within the industry categories of medical equipment and health and social work services. The scope of procurement encompasses goods and services spanning from the delivery to the disposal of various medical devices and community care equipment across Blackpool and the Fylde coast area.
The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a key deadline for interested parties to express their interest by 2 November 2025. The anticipated start date for contracts is 1 September 2026, potentially extending for up to five years, subject to ongoing government reforms. This tender offers significant opportunities for growth for businesses involved in the supply, hire, and reuse of community equipment, specifically those capable of providing end-to-end service solutions.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are well-suited to compete in this procurement process, particularly those with experience in supporting healthcare and social care pathways. Engagement with this procurement activity allows suppliers to shape service delivery models through dialogue with Blackpool Council, allowing them to potentially influence contract specifications and duration. The capability to support hospital discharge pathways and supply directly to health and social care facilities could position providers as key players in this regional initiative.
The contract allows for innovation in service delivery, making collaboration and partnership strategies beneficial for qualified businesses.
This notice is for pre-market engagement to assess the market as part of procurement planning. Blackpool Council is seeking to engage with interested suppliers of community equipment for children and adults, and those suppliers who have the capability to reuse and recycle existing equipment, or provide servicing of equipment. There is no commitment at this stage to proceed with any procurement procedure.
All information provided is purely for information and should the authority proceed to a competitive process, the market will be notified via the relevant transparency notices under PA23. Any dates, timescales or contract values are indicative only and subject to revision.
