Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Merseyside and Chief Constable for Merseyside commissioned the She Inspires 2026 Event from Liverpool FC Foundation. It is a community-focused social and health support service intended to improve legitimacy, diversity and engagement with people who may be susceptible to joining gangs, committing crime or being exploited through county lines. The programme also addresses experiences of physical, sexual and domestic abuse, supporting the force’s Community First strategy. The service is delivered across England, with the buyer based in Liverpool and the supplier also based in Liverpool. This is relevant to organisations providing community engagement, youth intervention, safeguarding, violence prevention, social support or related public protection programmes.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Liverpool FC Foundation. The buyer used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award date was 21 September 2026, for £39,000 including tax. The contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. It is a single completed lot covering the She Inspires 2026 Event. The award is recorded as pending, with signature scheduled for 21 September 2026, while the tender itself is marked complete. The stated service classification is health and social work services. The recorded route indicates that suppliers were not invited to compete, so this outcome is evidence of the buyer’s approach to commissioning this requirement rather than an opportunity to submit a bid for the current contract.

This award indicates demand for a structured community programme combining policing engagement with prevention and support for people exposed to gangs, county-lines exploitation and physical, sexual or domestic abuse. A credible future competitor would need experience of working with vulnerable people and communities, safeguarding capability, inclusive engagement methods and the ability to build trust with groups who may have limited confidence in policing. Relevant delivery strength would include partnerships with community, youth, health, education or specialist abuse-support organisations, alongside the capacity to run an event or programme across England. Liverpool FC Foundation is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist organisation rather than only by a large national contractor. The buyer’s direct-award approach also makes established relationships and a clear community-impact proposition commercially important.
