UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Merseytravel commissioned environmental consultancy services for a feasibility study and cost analysis on water reuse and filtration. The work covers reusing tunnel sump water for tunnel wall washing, and reusing building roof water and wastewater for flushing toilets and supplying sinks and showers. The study must assess anticipated return on investment and the requirements for bringing sump water to current safe water-quality standards for tunnel-washing operations. It is to follow RIBA stages 0 Strategic Definition, 1 Preparation and Briefing, and 2 Concept Design, resulting in a detailed report. The work is for Merseytravel and is delivered in Merseyside, supporting water efficiency across tunnel and building operations.

This procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot is complete, and the contract was awarded to AECOM LIMITED. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and runs from 10 September 2026 to 20 January 2027. Its value is £57,650 excluding VAT, or £69,180 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition process; the published information identifies environmental services as the classification. The procurement used one lot covering the full water-reuse and filtration consultancy requirement, rather than separating the feasibility study, cost analysis or reporting into distinct lots.

This award shows demand from Merseytravel for specialist consultancy combining environmental assessment, water engineering and infrastructure operations. A credible future supplier would need to investigate non-potable water reuse, design or assess filtration systems, and demonstrate how proposed treatment can meet applicable safe water-quality standards. Relevant capability includes feasibility studies, whole-life cost analysis and return-on-investment assessment, together with the ability to produce a clear technical report for investment decisions. Experience across RIBA stages 0 to 2 would be useful, as would understanding of tunnel washing, sump-water management, building roof-water and wastewater systems, and the practical constraints of supplying toilets, sinks and showers.
