About the Opportunity
Blackpool Council’s new lift maintenance tender is seeking a specialist contractor to deliver the full inspection, servicing and maintenance of lift systems across its property portfolio. The scope also includes assets managed on behalf of Fylde Borough Council, and may extend to Wyre Borough Council during the contract term.
The successful supplier will be responsible for ensuring all lifts remain compliant, safe, and operational — including routine maintenance, reactive repairs, and statutory testing. The contract also names Blackpool Coastal Housing (BCH) as a potential participant; if progressed, BCH will enter into a separate agreement for its own requirements.
This tender is well-suited to organisations experienced in multi-site lift maintenance, safety-critical services, and public-sector compliance. Providers with a regional footprint or strong partnerships covering the North West will be particularly well positioned.
