Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority commissioned transport planning support for its Technical Services Unit. The requirement was for a skilled and experienced transport planner to work within existing project teams and produce a number of targeted outputs. This is a professional services requirement, covering project management consultancy services and transport planning expertise. Delivery was in the West Midlands, with the buying organisation based in Birmingham. The work would suit businesses able to provide an embedded transport planning resource that can collaborate with established public-sector project teams, understand technical requirements and deliver defined outputs. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MATCHTECH GROUP (UK) LIMITED on 7 August 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 3 August 2026 at 5pm. The awarded contract value was £37,440. The contract ran from 10 August 2026 to 21 August 2026. The procurement also recorded a minimum estimated value of £89,080. There was one active award and one supplier. The published requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process, for a defined transport planning consultancy role supporting the Technical Services Unit’s project teams and targeted outputs.

This award indicates demand from the West Midlands Combined Authority for specialist transport planning support within its Technical Services Unit. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experienced transport planners who can join existing multidisciplinary project teams, interpret technical briefs and deliver clearly defined outputs to public-sector standards. Relevant strength in project management consultancy and transport planning would be central, rather than general staffing capability alone. Suppliers should be able to provide personnel with the expertise, communication skills and delivery discipline needed to work alongside established teams. The framework call-off route is also commercially relevant: businesses seeking similar work with this buyer should understand framework participation and call-off competition, while SMEs and VCSEs may be well placed to compete.
