Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority commissioned design services for RIBA Stage 4 of the proposed Kitts Green Bus Depot. The work concerns design preparation for a bus depot and is delivered in the West Midlands. The buyer is the West Midlands Combined Authority, based in Birmingham. This is a professional services requirement rather than construction works: the appointed supplier provides design services relating to the depot project.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Cadence Construction Consultancy Limited. The award date was 1 October 2026. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 January 2027, for seven months, and the awarded value is £428,317.84. The requirement was procured as a call-off from the Procure Partnerships Professional Services Framework, using a selective process. The tender deadline was 30 June 2026 at 5pm. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No evaluation criteria or lot breakdown are stated in the procurement details.

This award demonstrates demand from the West Midlands Combined Authority for professional design services at RIBA Stage 4 for a bus depot project. The selected supplier, Cadence Construction Consultancy Limited, is an SME, showing that a smaller consultancy was appointed for this requirement. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to deliver design work at the required RIBA stage for a depot project and be able to operate through the Procure Partnerships Professional Services Framework call-off route. The contract’s seven-month delivery period indicates a time-bounded design commission. The award provides a clear reference point for firms whose core work includes project and design preparation for transport infrastructure, specifically bus depot facilities for this buyer.
