Liverpool City Council currently intends to appoint up to four suppliers onto each lot.
Prospective firms are required to provide responses to a pre-market engagement document by no later than 14 May.
It is estimated the framework will run for a period of up to four years from late January 2025.
“The pre-market engagement exercise is intended to provide a platform for potential suppliers to comment and feed into the council’s procurement processes,” a prior information notice reads.
“This early engagement is aimed at ensuring a process that best enables suppliers to provide solutions that meet the council’s requirements and objectives for this important framework.”
