Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Hope University has initiated a tender process for the purchase and installation of scaffolding at 2 Islington, Liverpool, addressing building fabric safety concerns. The procurement falls under the "public authority - sub-central government" industry category, aligning with health and safety objectives. Initially, the contracts were awarded in the summer of 2025, with the procurement method being a direct award due to below-threshold considerations and without competition. The awarded contracts were planned from 1st August to 30th September 2025. However, a tender cancellation notice was issued by Liverpool Hope University on 11th September 2025, marking the termination of the procurement process as of 10th September 2025.

This procurement opportunity, initially seeking scaffolding erection and goods, offered substantial growth potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those specialising in construction works. Although the tender was cancelled, such requirements typically favour businesses adept at meeting rigorous health and safety standards. Companies with expertise in scaffolding solutions could anticipate similar future opportunities, positioning themselves for successful participation by ensuring compliance with public sector procurement thresholds and processes.
