Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council procured quantity surveying and monitoring surveyor services for Phase 1 of the Pall Mall development. The work concerns building consultancy and surveying, including construction management services, supporting the council’s development and build project. Delivery is in Liverpool, Merseyside. The single requirement was grouped as one lot and awarded to Walker Sime Limited, a Manchester-based supplier. The service is focused on monitoring and quantity surveying for this specific development phase rather than a general council-wide consultancy commission.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Walker Sime Limited on 9 September 2026. The award value is £39,300 excluding VAT (£47,160 including VAT). The contract period runs from 17 October 2026 to 16 October 2028, with an extension option to 15 October 2029 if the council’s development and build runs over. Liverpool City Council used a below-threshold limited competition. Five bids reached the final stage, all from small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement data does not set out the evaluation criteria, so the award basis cannot be described further.

This award demonstrates demand from Liverpool City Council for quantity surveying and monitoring surveyor support on a development and build project. A credible competitor for similar work would need to provide professional quantity surveying and monitoring capability, alongside building consultancy and surveying expertise suited to construction delivery. Experience monitoring project costs and progress for a public-sector development would be relevant to the requirement described. The five final-stage bids were all from SMEs, showing that smaller firms competed successfully through this limited competition; the selected supplier is also an SME. Suppliers able to deliver focused support for a defined development phase, and to accommodate a project that may run beyond its planned period, are well placed to compete when this buyer next procures the same requirement.
