ANALYSIS PREVIEW

Award intelligence at a glance

Blackpool Borough Council has published a contract award notice for infant-feeding support services. HENRY is the named and verified supplier for the single lot. The notice records a £510,000 contract value (with £612,000 gross value), a planned service period from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, and an option to extend by 12 months. A future signature date of 16 October 2026 was still scheduled, so the supplied data does not demonstrate that a contract had been signed at publication.
