In plain English

Blackpool Council wants a contractor to carry out structural repairs and planned maintenance on Blackpool Tower. The main work is split into two packages: Winter Works 2026/27, done while the Tower is closed from November 2026 to March 2027, and Summer Works 2027, done during the April to November 2027 season. Further repairs after November 2027 will be ordered as needed following annual inspections and surveys.

What the buyer wants

• Carry out the structural repairs in the Winter Works 2026/27 package during the closure period, working to a set programme • Carry out the Summer Works 2027 package from April to November 2027 while the Tower is open to the public, with safe working arrangements in place • Respond to further ad-hoc repairs identified by annual inspections and surveys after November 2027

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Lack of recent, verifiable experience on a major structural or heritage project of this scale, combined with the need to deliver two large packages within tight closure and season windows, would likely rule out most small businesses.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
