About this data
  • Estimates, labelled. The price range, possible competitors and earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards, not published facts, win chances or price advice. The buyer’s own record and the wider market are shown apart, never mixed.
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0, updated through the day and rebuilt nightly. Not every figure uses both feeds, and each one shows how many records it rests on: see the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

    Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust ("the Contracting Authority") is undertaking preliminary market engagement in relation to the proposed development of a new Multi-Storey Car Park ("MSCP") at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital site.

    The development forms part of the wider Royal Liverpool masterplan and is intended to substantially improve parking capacity and accessibility for patients and visitors.

    The current masterplan identifies the area for the MSCP. Previous project development work has been based around a facility of approximately 1,400 to 1,500 spaces, subject to demand validation, planning, affordability, design development and the commercial solution ultimately selected by the Contracting Authority.

    Current design development has identified that the facility may include:

    • multi-storey car parking
    • appropriate patient and visitor parking provision
    • accessible parking provision
    • a cycle hub
    • highways and infrastructure works connecting the development to existing roads and the wider estate
    • parking management, payment and access-control infrastructure
    • supporting utilities and site infrastructure, and
    • the potential incorporation of commercial/retail units at ground-floor level.

    The final requirements will be determined following further design work and market engagement.

    The purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement exercise is to assist the Contracting Authority in understanding market capability, appetite and potential delivery and commercial models before determining the procurement strategy for the Royal Liverpool University Hospital MSCP.

    The Contracting Authority is particularly interested in engaging with organisations, consortia, developers, investors, funders, operators and construction partners capable of contributing to an integrated solution incorporating some or all of the design, construction, financing, operation, maintenance and lifecycle management of the MSCP.

    Participation in this market engagement exercise does not constitute participation in a procurement procedure and will not confer any advantage or disadvantage on any supplier in any subsequent procurement. The Contracting Authority is not committed to commencing a procurement process or awarding a contract as a result of this exercise. Any subsequent procurement will be conducted separately in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and applicable regulations.

    Suppliers wishing to express an interest in this exercise should register on the Atamis system health-family.force.com/s/Welcome ↗, search for project reference C488629, Register Interest, and finally complete and submit the Expression of Interest Supplier Response Questionnaire.
