UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority engaged a temporary interim procurement officer to provide procurement consultancy services. The requirement is for professional procurement support to the authority, rather than the purchase of goods or construction work. The recorded service classification is procurement consultancy (CPV 79418000). Delivery is in the Liverpool City Region, in the United Kingdom. The buyer is the Combined Authority, based in Liverpool. The procurement was treated as a single requirement, covering the temporary officer service. The supplier selected was GIANT PROFESSIONAL LIMITED, a London-based professional services company. This award shows demand from the Combined Authority for interim procurement expertise, delivered as a consultancy service.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Combined Authority made a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. GIANT PROFESSIONAL LIMITED was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 and runs from 14 July to 31 December 2026. Its value is £45,000 excluding VAT and £54,000 including VAT. The requirement was handled as one lot. The published procurement data gives no award date or evaluation criteria, so the contract signing date is the recorded outcome date. The contract remains in its delivery period according to the stated dates; the award itself is active.

This award indicates a buyer need for temporary, hands-on procurement capacity, supplied through procurement consultancy rather than a competitive tender. Suppliers seeking comparable work should be able to provide an experienced interim procurement officer who can support a public authority’s procurement activity for a defined period. A credible competitor would need the professional capability to step into an operational role, work with public-sector procurement processes and deliver advice or practical procurement support. The selected supplier is a large professional services company, suggesting that established consultancy capacity can meet this kind of requirement; the award does not establish that only large firms can do so. The commercial opportunity is focused on interim procurement expertise for Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, not general consultancy services.
