UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council commissioned continuation project management for its Advanced Zoning Programme. The programme supports the establishment and scaling of low-carbon heat networks across the UK. The appointed project manager works alongside technical, commercial and legal partners supporting the council’s programme. This is a professional services requirement for project management consultancy, rather than construction, equipment supply or direct heat-network operation. The buying organisation is Liverpool City Council, a local public authority. The work relates to the council’s role as an Advanced Zoning Programme city and is intended to maintain project management support for the wider development of low-carbon heat networks. Suppliers with experience managing complex public-sector energy or infrastructure programmes are likely to find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Liverpool City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold and without competition. Harbour Project Management Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and runs from 18 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £33,000 excluding VAT and £40,000 including VAT. The requirement was handled as a single lot. The award covers project management consultancy services for the continuation of support to the Advanced Zoning Programme. Evaluation details are not published as a competitive assessment was not used. The contract is active and the award remains active.

This award is commercially useful evidence of Liverpool City Council’s continuing demand for specialist programme management in low-carbon heat-network development. A credible future competitor would need to show that it can manage a multi-party public-sector programme and coordinate technical, commercial and legal advisers. Relevant capability includes project governance, planning, risk and issue management, reporting, stakeholder coordination and maintaining delivery momentum across a complex infrastructure initiative. Experience with heat networks, decarbonisation, energy transition or comparable public-sector infrastructure would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement is suited to established project management consultancies and smaller specialist firms able to provide senior oversight, work collaboratively with professional advisers and support a local authority’s programme from development through implementation.
