## Summary

Liverpool City Council is embarking on a procurement process for the construction of a new Special Educational Needs (SEN) school, titled "Princes SEN School - New Build School". The project falls within the works category of the construction and civil engineering industry and is located off Colwell Road, Liverpool. This procurement is in the planning stage, with key upcoming dates including the procurement of a main contractor under a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) in April 2025 and the expected award of the main contract in September 2025. The contract period is planned to begin on 1st October 2025 and end on 31st August 2027. Businesses interested in this opportunity should note the planned publication of future notices anticipated by 9th June 2025.

This procurement process presents a substantial growth opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, project management, quantity surveying, and contract administration, as well as those experienced in two-stage Design and Build contracts. Companies with expertise in complete or partial construction and civil engineering works would be particularly well-suited to compete in this tender. Engaging in such a high-profile project with a public authority like Liverpool City Council could enhance business credentials and provide long-term commercial benefits.

## Notice

The proposal is to provide a new SEN school on a vacant site located off Colwell Road. The school are currently operating across four sites, and this will bring them all together on a single site. The procurement requirement will be for consultancy services and to appoint a main contractor. We have currently appointed Ridge & Partners to undertake RIBA 1-3, and will need to further appoint them for RIBA 4-6 to provide project management, quantity surveying and contract administration. They have issued a procurement tender recommendation that suggests a two stage Design and Build contract is the best option to obtain a main contractor. Therefore, we will also require the procurement of a main contractor under a PCSA approx April 2025, and subject to the final cost plan being within the budget, will look to award the main contract Sept 2025.
