UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of Liverpool College, a public authority in the sub-central government sector, planned a tender for the refurbishment of its Electrical Workshops located at the Vauxhall Road centre in Liverpool. Initially under the planning stage, the procurement process was aimed at structural, mechanical, electrical, and fabric works as part of painting and decorating refurbishments. This initiative fell under the 'works' procurement category and was scheduled to run from 1st July 2026 to 5th September 2026. Despite a preliminary market engagement notice issued for interested parties to respond by 15th May 2026, the project was withdrawn due to a notice created in error, and all related awards were cancelled as of 12th May 2026.

This tender presented opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in overhaul and refurbishment work to engage in significant infrastructure improvement projects within the educational sector. While the opportunity has since been cancelled, businesses with capabilities in structural and electrical engineering, as well as those offering comprehensive refurbishing services, would have been well-positioned to leverage such opportunities to expand their operational portfolio and establish notability within public sector projects.
