UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council intends to procure flexible staffing to open and close football sites and their changing facilities for weekend and midweek football fixtures. The service is for grassroots football across Liverpool, supporting access to pitches and associated facilities around scheduled matches. This is a sports facilities operation service, with a related sports-event support element. The procurement is at the planning stage: the council has set out its intended requirement, but has not yet invited tenders. Suppliers providing staffing for sports venues or community football facilities may find the scope relevant, particularly those able to cover changing fixture schedules and work at weekends and midweek.

The council is planning one contract lot and expects the service to run from 21 December 2026 to 16 September 2029, with a possible extension to 16 September 2030. These are planned contract dates, not tender-response deadlines. Liverpool City Council has undertaken preliminary market engagement and is seeking supplier input on the requirement; the engagement milestone is scheduled for 10 October 2026. The procurement procedure and award method have not yet been set out. The process remains at planning, with no invitation to tender at this stage. Suppliers should treat the dates and scope as the council’s current plans, which may be refined before the procurement reaches the market.

The work is likely to suit staffing providers with the capacity to deploy flexible teams around football fixtures, including weekend and midweek shifts, and to open and secure venues and changing facilities reliably. Experience supporting grassroots or community sport, sports grounds, leisure facilities or event operations would be directly relevant. Suppliers will need practical arrangements for staffing cover across multiple fixture times and the operational discipline to manage access to sites and associated facilities. The single-lot structure may suit small and medium-sized businesses as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises; the council has marked the requirement as suitable for both. Market engagement provides a chance for suppliers with these capabilities to inform the council’s developing plans before formal tendering.
