UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Merseytravel commissioned minor civil engineering works to upgrade eight existing bus stops and improve pedestrian accessibility as part of the Seaforth Bus and Pedestrian Bus Accessibility Project. The work is classified as civil engineering construction and concerns existing bus-stop infrastructure rather than a new transport service. The project is for Merseytravel, the transport authority for the Liverpool City Region. Delivery is in Seaforth, Liverpool. The scope combines improvements at eight stops with pedestrian accessibility works; the published description does not break the construction tasks down further. This is a single package of works, with no separate workstreams described.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Huyton Asphalt Limited. Merseytravel used a below-threshold limited competition. The procurement was presented as one lot. The published data does not provide a separate award date; the contract was signed on 14 September 2026. Its stated period runs from 14 September to 31 October 2026. The contract value is £126,672.31 excluding VAT and £152,006.77 including VAT. The data identifies the selected supplier and confirms an active contract, but gives no evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions. The award is for the bus-stop upgrade and pedestrian accessibility works described above.

For civil engineering contractors, this award indicates demand from Merseytravel for small-scale works to upgrade existing bus stops and improve pedestrian access. A credible competitor would need to deliver construction work across several existing transport locations and coordinate the related accessibility improvements as one package. Huyton Asphalt Limited, an SME, was selected through a limited competition, showing that a smaller contractor secured the work; the available data does not identify specific accreditations, technical requirements or experience thresholds. Suppliers with relevant civil engineering delivery capability and the capacity to undertake multiple stop upgrades would be well placed to compete when this same requirement returns to market. The work is tied to Seaforth bus infrastructure, rather than general road construction or unrelated transport services.
