## Summary

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority commissioned professional transport systems consultancy services for Liverpool Central Station. The work involves structuring and defining a clear set of investment options for the station, then aligning those options with funding, delivery and appraisal frameworks. Delivery is associated with the Liverpool City Region and Liverpool Central Station. This is a strategic advisory assignment rather than construction or the supply of physical station assets. It is relevant to consultancies with experience in transport infrastructure investment, business cases, funding strategy, delivery planning and appraisal, particularly those able to turn complex station-development choices into clearly defined and assessable investment options for a public-sector authority.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The award is active and was made to ATKINSRÉALIS UK LIMITED on 14 July 2026. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026 and runs from 14 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £147,941.89 excluding VAT, or £177,530.27 including VAT. The procurement comprises one completed lot covering the Liverpool Central Station investment and outline business case support requirement. The awarded service is classified as transport systems consultancy. The contracting authority is Liverpool City Region Combined Authority. The available information describes the direct-award route and requirement, but does not set out a competitive evaluation exercise.

This requirement demonstrates demand for specialist advice at the intersection of transport infrastructure, station investment and public-sector appraisal. A credible future supplier would need to define and compare investment options clearly, connect them to realistic funding routes, and explain how they could be delivered. It would also need strong business-case and appraisal capability, with the ability to present evidence in a form suitable for public-authority decision-making. Experience of transport systems consultancy and major station or urban transport projects would be relevant. The awarded supplier is a large consultancy, indicating that the work can involve substantial analytical, strategic and stakeholder-management capability, although smaller firms with distinctive technical expertise could be well placed as specialists or delivery partners.
