## Summary

The procurement process for project management and cost consultancy services aimed at the Southport Pier refurbishment project was successfully concluded by Sefton Council. Sefton Council, acting as the buying organisation, is a sub-central government public authority based in Bootle, United Kingdom. The procurement commenced on 1st September 2025, with the contract awarded on 24th March 2026 to Gardiner & Theobald, a large-scale supplier from London. Operating under a direct procurement method, the process was held below the threshold without competition, focusing on business services within the consulting sector. The contract, valued at £270,250 (gross £324,300), spans from the start to the end of the refurbishment period, concluding in December 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in project management and cost consultancy, specifically those within the business services sector, such as law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The project at Southport Pier provides a platform for showcasing expertise in high-profile infrastructure refurbishment, beneficial for large enterprises capable of managing significant projects. While Sefton Council selected Gardiner & Theobald due to its substantial capabilities and location advantages, it highlights opportunities for similar businesses to establish or expand their operations through government-led initiatives. Interested parties with relevant experience and scale could find growth potential in upcoming projects requiring similar consultancy services in the UK.
