Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by Merseytravel, a sub-central government authority based in Liverpool, England, involves the provision of a multi-disciplined consultant to reconfigure the Wallasey Asset Management offices. This project falls under the services industry category and aims to develop a new control centre facility. The procurement process has transitioned from the tender stage initiated on 6th June 2025, to the award stage as of 29th October 2025, with Sycamore Square Group Ltd selected as the supplier. The contract period is scheduled from 21st November 2025 to 20th May 2026, following an open procurement method, indicative of a competitive tender process supporting a high volume of bids, particularly from SMEs.

The opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in architecture, engineering design, and building consultancy services, particularly those structured to deliver comprehensive design and build support through various RIBA stages. With a contract value grossing £239,784, the tender offers substantial financial incentive and a chance for businesses, especially SMEs, to enhance their portfolios through a notable public sector project. The open procedure is explicitly suitable for small and medium enterprises and those capable of electronic submissions, broadening market access and fostering competitive growth. The project not only facilitates immediate business opportunities but also extends the potential for future collaborations within the public sector, leveraging technical advisory capabilities beyond the core requirements.
