I bought a blueberry Bluecrop earlier in the year and have planted it
in a 50 cm pot. It seems to be producing some fruit, but do I need to
feed it - if so, which feed should I use?

A high potash tomatoe feed should do the trick

No, definitely not tomato feed. Use an ericaceous fertiliser, the kind you
use on camellias, rhododendrons and azaleas.
