Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Alt Catchment Natural Flood Management" project has been completed, with Liverpool City Council serving as the buying organisation. Focused on excavating and earthmoving works, the contract targets natural flood management through the installation of off-line ponds, habitat bunds, and river side re-grading, alongside biodiversity enhancements. The procurement was conducted using a selective, restricted procedure, inviting suitable businesses, particularly SMEs, to submit tenders. The contract commenced on 23rd March 2026 and will conclude on 31st March 2027, with operations located in the North West of the United Kingdom. Key deadlines included the tender period ending on 6th February 2026, followed by the contract start on 8th February 2026.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in earthmoving, excavation, and environmental management services, with Horticon Ltd already awarded the contract. Companies specialising in natural resource management, landscaping, and biodiversity projects are well-suited to compete for similar contracts, benefiting from the focus on enhanced biodiversity through planting and field drainage improvements. The project underscores potential for SMEs to engage in public contracts via selective procurement processes, particularly in areas like flood management that demand both technical expertise and ecological sensitivity.
