Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Hagley Road Mass Rapid Transit (Phases 1 and 2)" project was managed by the West Midlands Combined Authority, located in Birmingham, England. This project falls under the industry category of infrastructure works consultancy services, specifically aimed at developing mass rapid transit solutions in the West Midlands. The process was executed using a selective procurement method, derived from a call-off from the ESPO framework agreement, Lot 5, which focuses on highways, traffic and transport services. The overall value of the awarded contract was GBP 31,943.79, with the tender's contract period spanning from 11th May 2026 to 13th March 2027. The award was made to ARCADIS Consulting (UK) Limited with the procurement stage marked as complete on 31st July 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in infrastructure consultancy services, particularly those that can align their expertise with the development of public transport networks. Although the awarded amount is substantial, given the authoritative nature of the buying organisation and the scale of the project, larger firms with a background in transport infrastructure are likely best suited to compete in similar tenders. Participating within the framework allows businesses to engage comprehensively in public sector contracts, hence fostering business growth and expanding their market presence within the United Kingdom, especially in the regionally strategic domain of the West Midlands.
