Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council procured design-and-build highway works for an approximately 800-metre active travel route at Sefton Park. The route forms part of a wider plan for a four-kilometre corridor linking Sefton Park with Liverpool city centre, intended to provide high-speed commuter cycling and walking routes. The work is road and highway construction, delivered in Liverpool.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Eric Wright Civil Engineering Ltd. The award date was 7 August 2026, and the contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 29 August 2028. The awarded value is £3,678,261.55. The tender deadline was 8 April 2026. The procurement method is described as “Other”. The available evaluation information does not state award criteria.

For competitors, this award shows Liverpool City Council’s demand for design-and-build delivery of substantial active travel highway infrastructure: a defined route serving commuter cycling and walking, within a wider city-centre corridor. A credible supplier would need civil engineering and road-construction capability, as well as the capacity to deliver an approximately 800-metre route as part of that broader network plan. The selected contractor is a large civil engineering business, while the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller firms may also be relevant to this type of requirement.
