Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority procured consultancy services to support its SDS Employment Land Broad Locations Opportunities Advice. The work concerns the potential scope of further work needed to refine the authority’s position and evidence on employment land and potential strategic employment sites. The advice is intended to inform the authority’s understanding of broad locations and opportunities for strategic employment development. It falls within architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services (CPV 71000000), with the practical requirement centred on employment-land analysis and strategic site advice. The buying organisation is Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, based in Liverpool. The appointed supplier, ICENI PROJECTS LIMITED, is a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise specialising in projects and consultancy work relevant to planning, development and the built environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ICENI PROJECTS LIMITED through a below-threshold limited competition. There was one completed lot. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 January 2027. Its value is £49,123 excluding VAT, or £58,947.60 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition. The published outcome identifies consultancy services in the architectural, construction, engineering and inspection category. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process, with the selected supplier appointed to deliver the employment-land and strategic employment-site advice for the Combined Authority.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Liverpool City Region Combined Authority for specialist evidence and advisory work on employment land and strategic employment sites. Competitors would need to combine employment-land expertise with the ability to assess potential development locations, refine evidence and translate technical findings into clear strategic advice for a public authority. Credible suppliers are likely to have experience in planning, economic development, property, infrastructure or the built environment, together with strong research, analysis and report-writing capability. The requirement also suits organisations able to work with existing authority evidence, identify gaps, define the scope of further investigations and present findings that can support spatial or strategic development decisions. Its delivery requires focused consultancy capacity for a defined advisory assignment rather than construction delivery.
