What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Council is looking to appoint a single supplier for the placing of statutory and other notices in one newspaper with circulation in the area of Liverpool City Council.

Notices include (amongst others) notification of planning applications, proposals for traffic regulation orders, setting of council tax, proposed compulsory purchase orders and school closures and mergers.

The contract will have no guaranteed volume of notices or exclusivity. From previous years volumes, it is anticipated that the council will place in the region of 250 notices, of differing sizes, each year under the proposed contract.

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 Apr 2029, 23:59 BST.

  • Social Value
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
