Summary of the contracting process

The West Midlands Combined Authority has awarded a contract to Mott MacDonald Limited for the development of an Options Assessment Report for the Walsall to Stourbridge Corridor. This project, which falls under the auditing services industry category, aims to evaluate mass rapid transit solutions as part of an integrated public transport network in the West Midlands. The procurement process was conducted using a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period commences on 31st July 2024 and will run until 31st July 2025. The total awarded value of the contract is £97,172.18, and the project location is primarily within the West Midlands region, with specific involvement from Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council, Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, and Dudley Borough Council.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in urban planning, transportation consultancy, and related fields. SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged to participate, providing an avenue for smaller and socially-focused entities to engage in this substantial public transport initiative. Companies with expertise in mass rapid transit systems, problem-led and evidence-based development, and those capable of delivering high-capacity, fixed-route solutions will find this project particularly well-suited to their services. The involvement of local authorities and the focus on strategic outcomes present a valuable chance for businesses to establish themselves as key players in the region’s transportation infrastructure development.

Notice Title

Walsall to Stourbridge Corridor Options Assessment Report

Notice Description

In line with the strategic direction of the Local Transport Plan, Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) is working on developing mass rapid transit solutions as part of an integrated public transport network in the West Midlands. The term Mass Rapid Transit is used as a mode agnostic term covering large capacity, fixed route, timetabled public transport solutions encompassing rail, light rail, bus rapid transit etc. This is done to try and prevent a focus on a specific solution or output when developing schemes. As part of the development, focus will be placed on specific outcomes and impacts. As a result, the development work will be problem-led and evidence based to ensure an objective assessment of the right intervention, in the right place at the right time. In conjunction with Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council (WMBC), Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council (SMBC) and Dudley Borough Council (DBC), TfWM is issuing this brief to appoint a suitable consultant to undertake the development of an Options Assessment for the Walsall to Stourbridge Corridor.
