UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process related to the refurbishment of the 1st floor of the Municipal Building in Huyton, initiated by Knowsley Council, has concluded with the decision to cancel the tender. Despite the initial tender phase being active and running until mid-June 2025, with the contract period projected between late July and August 2025, a consultation with the Council's Chief Executive and elected members led to the cancellation of the refurbishment works as of 22 August 2025. This contract was aimed at increasing private office space and redecorating, valued grossly at £160,000, with the procurement conducted via an open competition under sub-central government public authority classifications.

This tender initially presented valuable business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as it explicitly encouraged such entities from Merseyside to participate. The process was structured to favour qualitative contributions, with 30% of the evaluation focusing on aspects such as the Qualitative Method Statement and Social Value, while the remaining 70% was dedicated to pricing. Although now cancelled, such tenders can generally offer significant prospects for construction companies specialising in building refurbishments, particularly those with expertise in creating efficient office spaces and working within stipulated deadlines and budgets.
