Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority procured temporary delivery management services for multiple projects: Active Travel, Sprint Phase 2 and Hagley Road Phase 1. The work is a civil engineering consultancy service (CPV 71311000), focused on providing a Delivery Manager across these programmes. Delivery is in the West Midlands, serving the authority’s transport and highways-related project portfolio. The requirement sits within the professional services and temporary staffing market, rather than the supply of construction materials or direct construction works. It is relevant to consultancies and specialist staffing providers able to place experienced delivery management professionals into public-sector transport, highways or infrastructure programmes, particularly where the manager must coordinate several projects and work within an established highways alliance framework.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 9 July 2026 to Waterman Aspen Ltd. It used a selective call-off from the Midlands Highways Alliance Plus, Professional Services Partnership 4 framework, Lot 2 for temporary staff and secondments. The awarded value is £72,612.80 including the stated award amount, with a contract period from 1 April 2026 to 30 September 2026. The wider estimated procurement value was between £72,612.80 and £217,838.40. The tender submission deadline was 20 March 2026 at 18:00 UTC. The arrangement includes an optional 12-month contract extension. The outcome concerns one supplier, and the contract is recorded as active. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route, with the selected supplier appointed to provide the temporary Delivery Manager service.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need strong delivery management capability across multiple transport and infrastructure projects, including active travel schemes, rapid-transit or bus-priority programmes such as Sprint, and major highway corridors. Relevant experience should include coordinating project teams, managing interfaces between workstreams, controlling delivery risks and reporting progress to a public-sector client. The opportunity indicates demand for an individual or service capable of operating within a highways alliance framework and supplying temporary professional staff or secondments. Suppliers should therefore be established civil engineering or infrastructure consultancies with access to experienced delivery managers, public-sector programme experience and the organisational capacity to support several linked projects. The procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
