Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority, through Transport for West Midlands, commissioned transport systems consultancy modelling for Midlands Connect’s Coventry–Leicester–Nottingham project. The work is focused primarily on modelling related to that corridor project. Delivery is associated with the West Midlands, England. This is a consultancy services requirement rather than a purchase of transport infrastructure or vehicles, and is relevant to firms able to provide modelling expertise for regional transport planning. The named project spans Coventry, Leicester and Nottingham, while the recorded delivery location is the West Midlands. Jacobs U.K Limited was selected to carry out the modelling.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Jacobs U.K Limited on 30 September 2026. The awarded value is £30,000. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement was procured through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 30 July 2026 at 12:00. The tender’s estimated value was also £30,000. The contracting process identifies the service as transport systems consultancy and indicates that the opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises. No further evaluation criteria or lot structure are recorded in the procurement details.

The award demonstrates demand from West Midlands Combined Authority for specialist transport modelling in support of Midlands Connect’s Coventry–Leicester–Nottingham project. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to show relevant transport systems consultancy and modelling capability, with experience that can be applied to regional corridor projects. The scale is a focused consultancy assignment rather than a major infrastructure delivery programme, and the buyer has indicated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The work was placed as a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking similar work with this buyer would need relevant access to the applicable framework as well as the technical expertise to deliver modelling for transport planning.
