Baseline and Operating Agreements
In developing the BID Business Plans for 2026 to 2031, both the Town Centre and Tourism BIDs, detailed consultation was undertaken with Blackpool Council on a range of key matters. The Council has provided consistent and constructive support throughout this process.
In collaboration with the Council, a comprehensive review of existing local authority service provision within the town was conducted, leading to the establishment of agreed Baseline Service Levels. These baselines define the standard level of services delivered by the Council, ensuring that all BID-funded initiatives represent additional enhancements beyond those core provisions.
An Operating Agreement has also been prepared, setting out the proposed arrangements for the collection and management of the BID levy. These arrangements remain provisional and will be confirmed subject to the successful outcome of the forthcoming BID ballots.
