Summary of the contracting process

Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority is seeking insurance consultancy services from advisers to support the procurement of a new waste management service replacing its current contract. The advice will cover insurance requirements and arrangements for two separate procurements: a Materials Recovery Facility contract, and a contract covering Household Waste Centres, Waste Transfer Stations and Haulage. The work is for the Authority’s waste management procurement in the North West of England, with the buying organisation based in Liverpool. This is a professional services opportunity rather than a requirement to operate waste facilities, manage waste sites or provide haulage directly. It is suited to firms whose insurance advisory work supports complex public-sector or infrastructure-related procurement and contracting.

The process reached tender: the Authority invited offers through an open procedure below the public procurement threshold. The deadline for submissions was 5 October 2026 at 12:00 British Summer Time. The contract was planned to run from 9 November 2026 to 31 October 2031. Its estimated value is £100,000, including the stated currency of pounds sterling. The requirement is a single services procurement covering advice for the two waste management contracts described in the scope. The published procurement information identifies the opportunity as insurance consultancy services. Offers are being sought for advisory support connected with procurement of the replacement waste management arrangements, rather than for delivery of the waste management services themselves.

This opportunity suits insurance advisers with the ability to analyse and advise on insurance arrangements for major public-sector service procurements. Relevant firms are likely to have experience translating operational and contractual risks into practical insurance requirements, advising during procurement, and supporting the development or review of contract documentation for specialist services. The work calls for understanding of waste management activities, including materials recovery facilities, household waste centres, waste transfer stations and haulage, or the ability to assess the risks associated with those operations. It may suit small and medium-sized enterprises, which the buyer has identified as suitable participants. The strongest fit is an advisory business able to cover two related but separately procured waste contracts and work with a public authority.
