Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council procured project and cost management services for the Liscard Town Centre Public Realm Improvements. The requirement is a professional construction consultancy service supporting the planning, development and delivery of public realm improvement works. The work is associated with RIBA Stages 3 and 4, covering developed design and technical design outputs, with potential further services connected to construction, handover and use. Delivery is centred on Liscard Town Centre in Wirral, with Wirral Council as the public-sector buyer. This opportunity is relevant to construction consultancy, project management and cost management practices able to advise on public realm schemes and coordinate design and delivery requirements for a local authority client. It may also interest larger multidisciplinary consultancies with experience of framework-based public-sector appointments.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 28 July 2026 to Turner & Townsend Project Management Limited. It used a selective procedure, with an award made under a framework, below the relevant threshold and without a competitive call-off. The awarded value is £179,779.20 gross. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 30 June 2027, with a maximum possible extent to 31 December 2027. The authority has reserved options to add services for RIBA Stage 5 construction, Stage 6 handover and Stage 7 in use, using framework rates. A six-month extension, in two three-month periods, may cover additional time and cost needed to deliver the RIBA 3 and 4 outputs. One lot was completed and awarded.

For a supplier that did not win this appointment, the award indicates that Wirral Council uses framework-based procurement for construction consultancy supporting town-centre public realm improvements. A credible competitor for comparable work would need strong project management and cost management capability, together with the ability to support developed design and technical design stages and coordinate the outputs needed to progress a public realm scheme. Experience of RIBA work stages 3 and 4 would be directly relevant, while capability across construction, handover and in-use services could support a broader future requirement. Suppliers should be able to work within framework rates and public-sector governance arrangements, manage programme and cost risks, and provide clear advice to a local authority client. Larger multidisciplinary construction consultancies are likely to be well placed where they can combine these skills in one team.
