What the buyer wants
Liverpool City Region Combined Authority is establishing a 48-month Electrical Works Framework Agreement split into two lots for minor and major electrical works, with a two-stage procurement process involving a PSQ and ITT, evaluating financial, operational, experience, health & safety, social value, and price criteria.
Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA)/Merseytravel (the Authority) is seeking to establish a closed, multi-supplier Electrical Works Framework Agreement to support the delivery of electrical works across its estate.
The procurement has been split into two lots:
Lot 1: Minor Electrical Works
Lot 2: Major Electrical Works
Contract Duration: 48 months.
A two-stage Competitive Flexible Procurement will be undertaken as follows, per lot:
Stage 1: Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ)
Stage 2: Invitation to Tender (ITT)
Lot 1: One supplier will be awarded.
Lot 2: Five suppliers will be awarded.
Stage 1 Instructions
- For Lot 1, the five compliant, highest-scoring suppliers in Stage 1 will be invited to Stage 2 (ITT Stage).
- For Lot 2, the ten compliant, highest-scoring suppliers in Stage 1 will be invited to Stage 2 (ITT Stage).
- The Authority will use this stage to confirm basic details and that neither a supplier, nor any related persons within its corporate group, associated persons relied on to meet the conditions of participation, or proposed sub-contractors are listed on the Debarment list (held by Cabinet Office). Where any such entities are listed on the debarment list, the Authority will consider whether to exclude the supplier from participating in the Procurement in accordance with its obligations under the Act.
- The Authority will also undertake a review of the completed PSQ with reference to any information held on the Central Digital Platform. Responses to any conditions of participation will be assessed in accordance with the selection process and any selection criteria as set out in the Tender Notice, PSQ and tender documents.

How Tenderoo reads it
This is a framework agreement: a place on it puts you on the buyer's approved list, which they call work off from over the term. It is not a single job, and a small firm can hold a place alongside national suppliers.
The notice reads as suitable for a small or medium-sized firm: the scope, value and requirements are within reach of a business of that size.
Services required
- Electrical installation work
- Installation services of electrical equipment
