Summary of the contracting process

Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority sought insurance advisory services for the procurement of a new waste management service. The advice was intended to support two separate contracts: a Materials Recovery Facility contract, and a contract covering Household Waste Centres, Waste Transfer Stations and Haulage. The work is insurance consultancy rather than waste operations, so it is relevant to firms that advise public-sector clients on insurance requirements, procurement and risk arrangements for waste infrastructure and related services. Delivery is associated with Merseyside, England. The buying organisation is a sub-central public authority. The requirement was structured as one lot and included the possibility of ad-hoc advice on additional contracts. The stated procurement category is services, with the classification of insurance consultancy services.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed. It was then cancelled because the tender had been uploaded in error and was to be reissued. The tender deadline was 5 October 2026 at 12:00, and the enquiry deadline was 14 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract was planned to run from 9 November 2026 to 9 October 2031, with a maximum extent to 31 October 2031. Its estimated value was £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. Evaluation was based on quality at 65% and price at 35%. The contract included two optional 12-month extensions at the authority’s discretion and options for ad-hoc advice on additional contracts.

This opportunity suited insurance advisory businesses with experience of supporting public-sector procurement, particularly in waste management, environmental infrastructure or complex service contracts. Suppliers would need to provide credible advice for the insurance arrangements connected with a Materials Recovery Facility and with household waste centres, waste transfer stations and haulage. The quality-led evaluation, worth 65% of the score, indicates that the strength, relevance and practicality of the proposed advisory approach would be more important than price alone. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it was accessible to specialist advisers as well as larger firms. Providers able to respond to additional, ad-hoc contract advice and sustain a multi-year advisory relationship would be well placed. The procurement was cancelled for reissue.
