UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council commissioned citizen engagement services focused on sustainability. The work is classified as market and economic research and public relations consultancy, indicating a requirement to engage residents or other citizens and support the Council’s sustainability work through research and communications. The stated contract title is Citizens Engagement Sustainability Contract. The delivery location is Liverpool City Council’s area in the United Kingdom. The procurement is for services, rather than goods or construction, and the award names Shared Future Community Interest Company as the selected provider. This is a local-authority requirement centred on public engagement about sustainability, relevant to consultancies and community engagement providers with experience combining public-facing engagement, research and communications.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Shared Future Community Interest Company. The award was made on 28 September 2026, for £67,116.50 excluding VAT (£80,539.80 including VAT). The contract period runs from 17 October 2026 to 17 July 2027. It was a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot and three bids received; all three reached the final stage and were from SMEs. The published procurement information gives no award evaluation criteria, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described. The contract is active. The award notice records a scheduled signature milestone for 17 October 2026.

For suppliers considering comparable future work with Liverpool City Council, this award demonstrates demand for sustainability-focused citizen engagement delivered through a service contract. A credible competitor would need to show the ability to engage citizens effectively and connect that engagement with research and public relations or communications expertise. The competition attracted three bids, all from SMEs, showing that smaller suppliers participated in this procurement. Shared Future Community Interest Company, the selected provider, is itself identified as an SME. This offers a practical indication that the requirement was accessible to SME bidders, while the completed award shows that the Council selected a specialist community-interest company. Providers whose experience combines public participation, sustainability subject matter and clear communication are closest to the requirement evidenced here.
