## Summary

The procurement process was undertaken by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority for the provision of interim Development Consent Order and Environmental Impact Assessment support services for the Mersey Tidal Project. This project falls within the industry category of infrastructure and consultancy services. Based in Liverpool, the contracting authority sought to bridge the gap between the current Consenting Management Services ending in June 2025 and the appointment of a new contract. The procurement was conducted under a limited competition method, below the threshold, culminating in an active contract awarded to WSP UK Limited. The contract, titled "LCRCA Tidal Consenting Management Services," commenced on 13 November 2025 and is set to conclude on 13 May 2026, with a total value of £179,992.80.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in infrastructure and environmental impact services. Businesses with expertise in infrastructure works consultancy and business and management consultancy are particularly well-suited to compete for similar future projects. Small to large-scale firms could leverage such opportunities to expand their portfolios in public sector works, particularly those with a focus on environmental and consenting processes. The contract offers a platform to engage in critical regional development initiatives, enhancing visibility and strategic growth in the context of public infrastructure projects.
