About the buyer

Blackpool Council buys as a local authority through its corporate procurement team. Larger contracts are split into smaller lots so small and voluntary sector suppliers can compete equally.

Healthcare services are commissioned separately under the Provider Selection Regime, with contracting activity summarised each year.

Over the past 5 years, most of Blackpool Council's contract awards have been in construction work, repair and maintenance and health and social work.
