Tender description
The Council intend to establish a Flexible Purchasing System (FPS) for the provision of services and / or the hire of Equipment for Events (“Event Support Services”) that are organised by Liverpool City Council (“the Council”). Due to the nature of these services, this procurement will fall under the Light-Touch Regime but will be conducted broadly based on the general principles of a DPS. This FPS will remain open during the maximum 4 year period; this means that, following the initial assessment and establishment of the FPS organisations can apply to be added to the FPS at any point in time. Although organisations may apply at any time, the Applications they submit will only be assessed and added to the FPS at four periods during each year. The services will be split into 12 Lots as follows : • Lot 1 Event Power Hire • Lot 2 Event Crowd Barriers and Fencing Hire • Lot 3 Event Production, Site and Support Services • Lot 4 On-Site Event Medical Services • Lot 5 Event Portable Cabin Hire • Lot 6 Event Toilets Hire • Lot 7 Event PA Hire (indoor and outdoor) • Lot 8 Event Traffic Management Infrastructure Services • Lot 9 Event Security, Stewarding and Traffic Management Services • Lot 10 Event Trackway Hire • Lot 11 Event Marquee Hire • Lot 12 Event Safety Management Services

About the buyer
Liverpool City Council procures as a local authority for the city of Liverpool, with its approach set out in a published Sustainable Procurement Strategy. Most tender opportunities are advertised on the Proactis ProContract portal, where suppliers register to bid. Higher-value contracts also appear on the Central Digital Platform's Find a Tender service under the Procurement Act 2023. Frameworks and approved procurement routes run through separate platforms alongside the main portal. Lower-value purchases are usually handled through a direct quotation rather than a full tender. Some health and social care commissioning instead follows the Provider Selection Regime.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
Over the past 5 years, most of Liverpool City Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and software and information systems.
