Summary of the contracting process

Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned clerk of works services for Southport Pier, covering the 2026–2028 project. The work is building inspection, with the clerk of works supporting oversight of the pier works. Delivery is in Southport.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was run as a below-threshold procedure; the specific method is not identified. The requirement was arranged as one lot. Baily Garner LLP was selected and signed the contract on 9 October 2026. The contract period runs from 14 October 2026 to 29 February 2028. Its value is £57,600 excluding VAT (£69,120 including VAT).

This award demonstrates demand from Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council for clerk of works and building-inspection services on a pier project. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need relevant building inspection and site oversight capability, with experience suited to monitoring works on a public pier. The work was awarded to Baily Garner LLP, a small or medium-sized supplier, indicating that this requirement was delivered by an SME. The procurement provides a concrete example of the council buying specialist project oversight for Southport Pier.
