## Summary

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority bought a GIS-based ground-screening tool to assess its Housing and Regeneration Pipeline. The tool assesses sites and scores them for expected ground-related issues, including contamination and geotechnical problems. This is a specialist software requirement for suppliers providing geographic information system tools and land-quality screening, rather than a programme of physical remediation or site investigation. The contract’s delivery location is stated as the United Kingdom; the buyer is based in Liverpool. The procurement is for an industry-specific software package.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Liverpool City Region Combined Authority awarded the single lot to Groundsure Limited, and the contract was signed on 22 October 2026. The contract runs from 22 October 2026 to 21 October 2027. Its value is £61,250 excluding VAT (£73,500 including VAT). The buyer used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award was for the ground-screening software package. The published procurement details do not state an evaluation basis beyond the direct-award route.

For suppliers hoping to compete for a similar requirement from Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, this award indicates demand for a GIS-based tool that can screen brownfield land in a housing and regeneration pipeline. A credible provider would need to assess sites consistently and produce scores that help identify potential contamination and geotechnical issues. Relevant strengths include GIS software delivery, access to suitable ground-risk information and the ability to present site-level findings in a form that supports land and regeneration decisions. Groundsure Limited, an SME, was selected through a direct award without competition, so the result does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation or reveal formal qualification requirements. Suppliers should be prepared to evidence both the quality of their screening data and the practical value of their assessments to a public-sector regeneration programme.

## Notice

The groundscreen tool will provide a GIS-based assessment of the LCR Housing and Regeneration Pipeline, with sites assessed and scored based on expected issues within the ground such as contaminants and geotechnical issues.
