Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council commissioned regeneration advisory and programme assurance services for the Birkenhead Town Centre Programme. The appointed adviser works alongside the council’s existing project team, supporting the programme’s regeneration activity and providing assurance over its delivery. The requirement is classified as construction consultancy services. The work is for Birkenhead Town Centre, within Wirral. This opportunity is relevant to consultancies that advise public-sector regeneration programmes, provide programme governance and assurance, or support the management of town-centre development and related construction activity. It is particularly suited to firms able to integrate with an established client-side team and provide structured professional advice across a live regeneration programme rather than delivering construction works directly.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded following a selective procedure using an existing framework, below the applicable threshold. The process was non-competitive at call-off stage and comprised one lot. Wirral Council awarded the contract to Turner & Townsend Project Management Limited on 29 June 2026. The awarded value is £149,040 gross, in GBP. The contract period runs from 29 July 2026 to 29 December 2026, with a maximum possible extension of six months to 29 June 2027. The award covers the full requirement for regeneration advisory and programme assurance for Birkenhead Town Centre. The published outcome identifies services as the procurement category and construction consultancy as the specific classification.

This award demonstrates demand from Wirral Council for specialist advisory support on a town-centre regeneration programme, delivered alongside an existing project team. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience in regeneration advice, programme assurance and construction consultancy, with the ability to provide practical governance and delivery oversight rather than only technical design or construction services. The work indicates a need for a sufficiently established consultancy to integrate with public-sector programme arrangements, assess delivery risks and provide confidence to the council and its stakeholders. Firms with comparable experience supporting complex urban regeneration, coordinating multiple workstreams and assuring programme performance would be well placed when this type of requirement returns to the market.
