UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority commissioned specialist business and consultancy support to assess the feasibility of a Social Outcomes Partnership model and help develop how it could work across the Liverpool City Region. This is an advisory services requirement: the work concerns early-stage feasibility and development of a partnership approach, rather than delivery of a specified service to residents. The procurement was for one lot, covering business services in the consultancy field. Delivery was in the Liverpool City Region, Merseyside. The buyer is the regional combined authority, which is responsible for coordinating activity across the city region. The requirement may suit consultancies and specialist advisers with experience helping public bodies assess and shape partnership models for social outcomes.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Liverpool City Region Combined Authority used a below-threshold limited competition. TSAP Ltd was selected as supplier, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 14 October 2026 and runs from 21 October 2026 to 8 January 2027. Its gross value is £45,600. The award covers the single lot, with business services consultancy as the stated work category. The procurement concerns feasibility and development support for a Social Outcomes Partnership model. The published evaluation criteria and any detailed supplier eligibility requirements are not included in the available process information.

For suppliers considering comparable future work with Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, this award demonstrates demand for focused advisory support to assess and shape a Social Outcomes Partnership model. A credible competitor would need to show relevant expertise in feasibility analysis and partnership development, and the ability to translate a proposed model into a workable approach for a regional public authority. The limited-competition route and single-lot structure indicate a contained consultancy requirement rather than a large multi-lot delivery programme. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this assignment was delivered by a smaller business. Businesses with evidence of advising public-sector clients on social-outcomes partnerships, and capacity to provide specialist input within a short, defined engagement, are likely to be relevant when this specific requirement next arises.
