Public sector buyer
Liverpool City Council
Liverpool City Council has awarded 546 contracts worth £2,328,779,423 to 411 different suppliers between 2018 and 2026. Most of its award notices are recorded in North West.
From award notices published on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender. Contracts awarded through other e-tendering portals are not included, so this is a floor, not a total.
What they have awarded, by year
Our award history is not continuous. We hold notices published January 2021 to July 2022, and September 2022 to November 2022, and July 2023 to August 2026, and nothing published between December 2022 and June 2023 — a gap of 7 months. Any period overlapping that gap is understated here, and the change between periods is not a market trend.

Years with no bar are years we hold no award notices for this buyer — which may mean they bought nothing, or that we do not have that period. We do not fill gaps in.

How contested their contracts are
Of the awards that report it, the average was 9.0 bidders, and 22 were awarded to a single bidder — 33% of that sample.
Based on the 66 of 546 awards that publish a bidder count — buyers are not required to, and most do not.
How often they buy
Across the period we hold, Liverpool City Council has awarded a contract roughly every 0.2 months on average.
That is an average across all their categories, not a schedule — and it is not a prediction of when any particular contract comes up. UK award notices almost never publish a contract end date, so nobody can build a reliable expiry calendar from open data. Why that is, and what works instead.
