Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process undertaken by Merseytravel and Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) culminated in the awarding of a contract titled "LCRCA Winter Bureau and Forecasting Services - Single Party Framework 2025 - 29". The primary focus is on the transport services industry, specifically excluding waste transport. Located in the North West region of the United Kingdom (UKD7), the process follows an open procurement method as per legal basis 32014L0024. The contract award occurred on 14th July 2025. The process is now complete with the tender previously being active until 25th March 2025, while Merseytravel leads the collaborative procurement for winter forecasting services across seven local authorities with a total contract value of GBP 750,000.

This procurement framework offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport forecasting services, particularly those with experience in winter maintenance planning. Smaller enterprises like Vaisala Ltd, the awarded supplier, can benefit substantially from such frameworks due to their specialised product offerings. Companies with expertise in providing quality-driven, innovative solutions for transport services will find this framework particularly advantageous for collaborating with multiple regional authorities and expanding their market presence in public sector contracts. The emphasis on quality and competitive pricing presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses aiming to demonstrate value through their service offerings.
