Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council commissioned a Technical Approval Authority (TAA) adviser for the Bowring Park Viaduct. The work is civil and structural engineering consultancy, providing technical approval advice for the viaduct; related construction consultancy and technical analysis are also within the stated service classifications. Delivery is in the North West of England. The requirement is focused on specialist infrastructure engineering advice for a named bridge asset, rather than general construction works or broad consultancy. It is classified as a services procurement. The buyer is Liverpool City Council.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Mott MacDonald Ltd. The award was made on 25 August 2026, for £22,296.79. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 9 February 2029. Liverpool City Council used a restricted procedure, with an estimated procurement value of £60,000. The submission deadline was 24 July 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information does not set out an evaluation weighting or detailed award criteria. The awarded value is the value of the selected supplier’s contract; it is distinct from the procurement’s estimated value.

For firms competing for a future requirement of this kind from Liverpool City Council, the key fit is specialist civil and structural engineering consultancy experience relating to bridge infrastructure and technical approval. Credibility is likely to rest on being able to provide independent, technically sound advice on a specific viaduct asset and to support the relevant approval process; the procurement’s stated scope does not establish particular accreditations or named technical standards. The selected supplier was a large consultancy, while the opportunity was also identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller practices may be relevant where they can demonstrate the necessary expertise and delivery capacity. This is a focused advisory commission, not a contract to carry out construction works.
