Summary of the contracting process

The tender focused on engineering services and related consultancy, classified under CPV codes 71300000, 71621000, and 73000000. The contract is set to run from 1st July 2025 to 30th June 2026, covering the West Midlands region in the United Kingdom. The procurement method was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, and the award was published on 24th September 2025. The process was completed with a total contract value of £137,754.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in engineering consultancy and technical analysis, particularly smaller enterprises (SMEs), as Birmingham City Council, the buying organisation, showed preference for SME collaboration in this procurement. As Constellia Public Ltd., a small to medium-sized enterprise, was the successful supplier, it highlights a conducive environment for other similar businesses to engage in future tenders by the Council. Such organisations can leverage the prevailing demand for specialised consultancy services to expand their portfolio and secure long-term contracts within the public sector.
