Summary of the contracting process

The Liverpool City Council recently completed the award stage of its “Infrastructure Delivery Plan” public procurement process. This initiative, based in the North West of the United Kingdom, focuses on evaluating and proposing investments in infrastructure such as transport, education, and healthcare. The process aimed to update the infrastructure details supporting the city’s growth plan. Liverpool City Council, serving as the buying organisation, concluded its tendering phase on 16th January 2025 with the award being published on 24th April 2025. This procurement involved business services within the consulting and planning sectors, categorised under the CPV code 79000000. The contract was valued at £78,499.19, awarded to Ove Arup & Partners Ltd, with a scheduled contract period from 11th April 2025 to 30th September 2026.

This procurement project creates numerous business growth opportunities particularly for firms specialising in infrastructure consultancy services, including transport and utility planning. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, provided they can meet the complexity and scale required by such an initiative. The procurement was conducted as an open procedure, which promotes fair competition and offers visibility to a broader market. Businesses looking to broaden their client base in government infrastructure planning or those aiming to engage in the public sector projects would find this opportunity particularly beneficial, allowing them to leverage the infrastructure development momentum within the city.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Infrastructure Delivery Plan

Notice Description

Liverpool City Council has commenced a review of the existing Liverpool Local Plan 2013-2033, which once adopted, will replace the existing plan. The new Local Development Scheme (October 2024) aims for submission of the new Local Plan by January 2026 with an adoption date by December 2026. Currently, the Council has begun to compile its evidence base which will help inform the new Local Plan and is engaging on the content and scope of the Local Plan, and how it will address the challenges facing the city. A call for sites has also been issued. The current Infrastructure Delivery Programme Update was prepared in 2019 to support the examination of the Liverpool Local Plan 2013-2033. The programme identified the ability of each type of infrastructure to support the delivery of the proposed housing and employment growth across the city. The Infrastructure Delivery Programme Update 2019 examined the quality and capacity of the following types of infrastructure in Liverpool: * Transport * Education * Health and healthcare * Utilities * Digital infrastructure and connectivity * Flood risk and drainage * Waste management * Green infrastructure * Sport, leisure and recreation * Community and cultural * Emergency services As it has been over 5 years since the last update was produced, there is now a requirement to prepare a new Infrastructure Delivery Plan for the city which assesses the current levels of infrastructure and any proposed investment in new infrastructure.
