Summary of the contracting process

Merseytravel is buying additional depot equipment for Laird Street depot in Wirral, to support delivery of bus franchising across the Liverpool city region. This is a goods purchase, with the listed item classified as miscellaneous construction materials. The procurement is centred on equipment for a bus depot rather than bus operation or passenger services. Delivery is in England; the stated location is the North West. Businesses supplying depot equipment and construction materials relevant to bus infrastructure may find the requirement pertinent, particularly those able to provide equipment for transport operations.

The procurement is complete and the award is active. Merseytravel made a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. Arriva North West Limited was selected for the single lot. The award value is £87,000 excluding VAT (£104,400 including VAT). The award date was 30 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 10 April 2027. A contract signature was scheduled for 1 October 2026. The award relates to additional depot equipment for Laird Street, Wirral; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that Merseytravel buys additional depot equipment to support bus franchising in the Liverpool city region. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to supply equipment and construction materials suitable for a bus depot, and understand the needs of transport operations and depot infrastructure. The single-lot purchase and direct-award route show the buyer placed the requirement as a consolidated equipment purchase rather than a competed multi-lot tender. The selected supplier was a large bus operator, which suggests familiarity with the operational context; suppliers should be able to demonstrate that their products meet the practical demands of a working depot.
