Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council procured consultancy support to complete the governance business case requirements arising after funding had been secured. The work is highways consultancy, focused on preparing the required business case rather than delivering highway construction. Delivery is in the North West of England. The buyer is Liverpool City Council, based in Liverpool. The requirement is therefore relevant to consultancies with experience in highways-related business cases and public-sector governance, particularly those able to support a council through the business case requirements for a funded project.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Liverpool City Council selected Mott MacDonald Limited, and the award was made on 16 September 2026. The award value is £127,069.28. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2027. The estimated procurement value was also £127,069.28. The submission deadline was 20 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement method is described as “Other”; no further procedure detail is stated. The requirement is presented as a single contract, with no separate lots described. The procurement was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated.

This award demonstrates demand from Liverpool City Council for consultancy to complete governance business case requirements following funding for a project, specifically in a highways context. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to combine highways-sector knowledge with the ability to develop or complete a robust business case that meets public-sector governance needs. The selected supplier was a large consultancy, indicating that experience and capacity to support a council through this work were relevant in this instance; the procurement was also considered suitable for SMEs, so the requirement was not restricted to large firms. Consultancies with relevant business case and governance expertise, and the capacity to deliver a council-facing assignment of this scope, are best aligned with this buyer’s demonstrated requirement.
