Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council is currently in the planning stage of the tender process for the "Corporate Professional Services Framework", which aims to provide financial and legal services to the council and associated partners, including other local authorities in Merseyside. The engagement period concludes on 9th November 2018, during which interested service providers must complete a capability assessment to express their interest. The total estimated value of the framework is £100 million, with a minimum value of £60 million for services over a 3-5 year period. The framework will cover financial and insurance services as well as legal services, with the procurement taking place in the North West of England at Liverpool's Cunard Building, following a supplier day event to discuss the proposed lot structure and scope of work.

This procurement provides an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in financial and legal services, particularly those that can demonstrate local and national capability. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the council aims to engage a diverse range of suppliers and ensure quality service delivery while achieving value for money. Companies positioned to deliver comprehensive solutions and support the strategic objectives of Liverpool City Council over the coming years will find this opportunity highly beneficial for their growth and market presence.
