Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority procured technical consultancy services for a facility development under its FWS programme. The requirement covers site development and planning support, including provision of planning support as part of the appointed service. It is a specialist water-supply and waste consultancy service, classified under CPV 71800000. The work is associated with a development facility and requires understanding of its site, design and planning context. Delivery is in Merseyside. The buying organisation is Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority, based at Mann Island in Liverpool. This opportunity is therefore relevant to consultancy practices providing development planning, technical advisory and site-related support for waste or water infrastructure, particularly those able to work with public-sector programmes and complex facility projects in the Merseyside area.

The procurement has been awarded following a CCS Further Competition under the MCF3 framework, Lot 8. WSP was selected as the supplier, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 7 November 2024 for £1,398,000. Its stated lot period runs from 3 June 2024 to 30 June 2030; the contract records a duration of 1,080 days. The requirement was awarded as a single lot covering site development and planning support. A contract amendment records the provision of planning support. The authority justified using the existing contractor on the basis of established project knowledge, including the design, site constraints, project objectives, stakeholder requirements and technical and site information, while avoiding remobilisation, duplication, additional costs and delay.

This award shows demand from Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority for substantial, specialist consultancy support linked to waste infrastructure development. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need capability in site development, planning support and technical consultancy for water-supply or waste facilities. Relevant experience would include developing or reviewing designs, assessing site constraints, understanding project objectives and technical information, and working with stakeholder requirements. The appointed supplier’s position also shows the commercial importance of deep project knowledge and continuity: firms should be able to demonstrate effective mobilisation, knowledge transfer and management of design interfaces without disrupting project momentum. Larger consultancies with sufficient technical capacity, multidisciplinary expertise and experience of complex public-sector infrastructure programmes are well placed to compete when comparable work returns to market.
