Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority intends to procure construction of a new bus depot in Kitts Green, East Birmingham. The work is building construction for road transport facilities, classified under CPV 45213310. The project covers delivery of a new depot rather than the supply of vehicles or routine transport operations. The delivery location is Kitts Green in East Birmingham, within the West Midlands, England. Businesses relevant to this requirement are construction contractors with the capability to deliver a substantial, purpose-built bus depot and associated building works. The authority is the West Midlands Combined Authority, which will buy and use the completed facility for its transport responsibilities.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the authority has stated an intention to procure, but has not yet issued an invitation to tender. It anticipates a competitive tender through a call-off from the Government Commercial Agency framework RM6088, Construction Works and Associated Services, using a selective procurement method. The indicative contract period is 5 March 2027 to 31 December 2027. The estimated value and budget for the 2026/2027 period are both £30,000,000, in GBP. The buyer has indicated that a future notice is expected on 8 September 2026. These are planning expectations rather than a current bid deadline. The opportunity is not described as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs.

This procurement is likely to suit established construction businesses able to deliver a large, specialist transport building project in East Birmingham. Relevant suppliers will need the organisational capacity, construction resources, project management capability and technical expertise to complete a new bus depot within the anticipated contract period. Because the authority expects to use a call-off from the RM6088 construction framework, businesses should be positioned to participate through that framework and meet its applicable requirements. The buyer has indicated that the process will be competitive, so firms should prepare evidence of comparable construction delivery, transport or operational-building experience, quality management and the ability to manage a substantial public-sector project. The procurement is not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs.
