Summary of the contracting process

The procurement for the Dudley Metro Corridor Programme, focusing on delivering infrastructure works consultancy services, has been concluded with an award. The West Midlands Combined Authority acted as the buying organisation, commissioning AMION Consulting to develop Stage 1 of the business case. This direct consultant award, valued at £36,675, will aid in crafting the Strategic Outline Case for the collaboration between Dudley Council and Transport for West Midlands/West Midlands Combined Authority. The procurement method was selective, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement. The key dates include the contract period from the 29th of September 2025 to the 29th of March 2026, with the tender period having ended on the 25th of September 2025. The location for project delivery is in the West Midlands, under the services procurement category.

The awarded tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialised in infrastructure consultancy, particularly those focused on transport and urban development. Companies looking to engage with public authorities on strategic projects like this would find the procurement advantageous, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), given the project's size and scale. The involvement of significant stakeholders such as Dudley Council and the West Midlands Combined Authority underscores the potential for future collaborations and expansion within regional development sectors.
