Liverpool City Council has concluded its procurement process for a project titled "The DNA of Liverpool," focusing on services in consultancy and research related to social opinions and advertising.

The procurement falls under the category of services and targets the Liverpool region in the UK, with the contract active between 18 March 2026 and 22 June 2026.
