UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by The City of Liverpool College, concerning "Academy - Phase 2 Structural Works," has been updated with key developments. Initially in the planning stage, the procurement activity was aimed at engaging with the market regarding structural works, which included the installation of a new concrete slab, brick and mortar bay installation, and installations for drainage, lighting, and power. This tender was located in Liverpool, United Kingdom, specifically at The Learning Exchange, with an overarching plan for market engagement running until mid-September 2026. However, as of 12 May 2026, the planned tender process has been withdrawn, and the related award has been cancelled, as documented by a tender cancellation notice published on the same date. Although originally classified under "overhaul and refurbishment work" with an estimated value of £350,000, the tender was cancelled, thus halting further procurement stages.

This tender, despite its cancellation, initially presented considerable opportunities for businesses in the construction and refurbishment sector, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) given the suitability conditions. Firms that specialise in structural works, including concrete construction and comprehensive refurbishment projects, would have found potential business growth through this venture. Moreover, aspiring vendors with strategic interest in sub-central government procurements could have benefited from engaging in preliminary market engagements, enhancing their visibility and capacity to secure future public sector contracts within the realm of educational infrastructure development.
