UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Merseytravel commissioned a specialist marine engineering contractor to remove and replace all handrails on specified walkways at Seacombe Ferry Terminal. This is ferry-terminal construction and repair work, focused on a complete handrail overhaul rather than general building construction. The work is in the Liverpool City Region; the procurement identifies the delivery area as Merseyside. The requirement relates to the terminal’s suspended deck, and its defined scope is the handrails on the specified walkways. The buyer is Merseytravel, the transport organisation serving the Liverpool City Region.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following limited competition below the applicable threshold. One lot was awarded to Warbreck Integrated Services Limited. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and runs from 29 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £293,074.66 excluding VAT, or £351,689.59 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The stated requirement was to remove and replace all handrails from specified walkways; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded in the available award information.

For comparable work at Seacombe Ferry Terminal, a credible supplier would need specialist marine engineering capability and the practical capacity to remove and replace handrails across specified walkways on a suspended ferry-terminal deck. The awarded contract demonstrates demand for a defined, site-based works package rather than a broad maintenance service. A supplier should be able to plan and deliver a coordinated overhaul in an operational transport setting, with appropriate experience of ferry-terminal or similar marine infrastructure work. The selected contractor is a small or medium-sized business, indicating that this requirement was delivered by an SME; the award does not establish that the buyer requires suppliers to be SMEs.
