Summary of the contracting process

The West Midlands Combined Authority has completed the procurement process for the "Cable Diversion Works alongside rail line on Package 1 New Stations Project at Darlaston and Willenhall." This procurement, classified under CPV codes 31300000 (Insulated wire and cable), 32400000 (Networks), and 32500000 (Telecommunications equipment and supplies), focuses on diverting the existing Lumen fibre optic cable near the Darlaston & Willenhall stations. The project, valued at £130,580, went through a direct procurement method via a single tender action and spanned from 2 August 2024 to 3 November 2025. The award was granted to Gauge Communication Ltd, commencing their role on 2 August 2024.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for entities specialising in telecommunications infrastructure and cable installation. Businesses experienced in large-scale cable diversion projects will find this tender particularly relevant, especially given the direct nature of the procurement method which points to a streamlined and less competitive bidding process. The collaboration with a significant contracting authority like the West Midlands Combined Authority also paves the way for future engagements and diverse project involvements in the infrastructure domain.
