## Summary

Merseytravel, a sub-central government authority based in Liverpool, has completed the procurement process titled "Mersey Tunnels Structural Inspections," focusing on architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. The procurement targeted the assessment of concrete structures in the Mersey Tunnels, including the Kingsway and Queensway tunnels. The tender process, initiated under UK legal basis 2023/54, followed a limited procurement method, suggesting below-threshold limited competition. The award was made to WSP UK LIMITED on 29 January 2026, with contract activities scheduled between 30 January 2026 and 30 March 2026.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in civil and structural engineering services, particularly those with experience in infrastructure assessments. While WSP UK LIMITED, a large supplier, secured the contract, similar ventures could benefit SMEs seeking involvement in future tenders by developing competitive capabilities in structural inspections and assessments. Collaborations and partnerships with sub-central government authorities such as Merseytravel can pave the way for steady business expansion, particularly for consultancies offering niche engineering expertise. This contract underlines the potential for businesses to expand their portfolios by engaging in public infrastructure projects.
