## Summary

The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority has completed the procurement process for a consultancy titled "Building Liverpool City Region's Freeport Proposition." This initiative falls within the financial and insurance services industry category and aims to advance the government's Freeport policy as part of its post-Brexit trade agenda. The procurement was initiated on January 22, 2021, with a contract period that concluded on February 25, 2021. The awarded contract was valued at approximately £59,344, and interested consultancy firms were encouraged to respond before the tender period ended on December 10, 2020, focusing on the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This contract provides significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those with expertise in consultancy, regeneration, and trade. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete for such tenders, especially if they have a proven track record in delivering technical and professional advice in similar fields. Engaging in this procurement process can help these businesses expand their portfolios and contribute to crucial local development initiatives.

## Notice

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) and its stakeholders are currently in the process of scoping the scale of the opportunity presented by the government's Freeport policy, which is a key pillar of its post-Brexit trade agenda and in levelling up. We are seeking to recruit consultancy support to take a leading role in the development of this process over the next two months, and in the progression of any potential bid. Interested parties will have a track record of working within similar regeneration and trade focused fields, and in providing detailed technical and professional advice. We anticipate a budget of circa PS60,000 to PS70,000 (excluding VAT).
