The Council is particularly interested in understanding the market's ability to support both existing infrastructure and future asset requirements, including fault management, remote monitoring, planned preventative maintenance, reactive repairs, electrical inspections and performance reporting. Information gathered through this engagement will assist the Council in developing an informed procurement strategy, defining service requirements, establishing appropriate performance standards and determining the optimum contract duration for future service delivery. This exercise does not form part of any formal procurement process and does not constitute an invitation to tender. Participation is voluntary, and responses will be used solely to support the Council's market analysis and contract planning activities. Liverpool City Council welcomes responses from organisations with relevant experience in the maintenance, operation and lifecycle management of hydraulic HVM bollard systems and looks forward to engaging with suppliers to better understand the opportunities and challenges within this specialist market. Suppliers are requested to: * Review the information in the market engagement document to assess whether they could meet the potential requirements of Liverpool City Council. * Submit a response to the RFI by completing the questionnaire and submitting via the ProContract online portal by the deadline time and date which is 12 noon on 01/10/2026. If you have any questions in the interim, please send them via the messaging function on the ProContract portal. If the questions and response are deemed relevant, they may be shared with other suppliers responding to this RFI (anything deemed commercially sensitive will not be shared). Suppliers interested in participating in this request for information can find the questionnaire and the submission portal on ProContract using the reference DN828207. Link to ProContract: https://procontract.due-north.com Questionnaires should all be submitted on the ProContract portal.",
