Based in Prescot, UK, the organisation manages approximately 13,000 homes across Knowsley and the Liverpool City Region. This procurement, which adhered to an open competition method below the threshold, concluded with the contract awarded to Controlaccount Ltd on 1st June 2026.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like the successful bidder Controlaccount Ltd, are suitable candidates due to the tender's solicitation for an open market competition. The emphasis on both cost and quality in the award criteria (40% and 60%, respectively) suggests a competitive edge for businesses that can demonstrate high-calibre service alongside competitive pricing.
