Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Transport for West Midlands - Consultancy Support" project has been completed and an award was made on 24th June 2025. Conducted by the West Midlands Combined Authority, located in Birmingham, England, this procurement falls under the industry category of Transport systems consultancy services. The contract, valued at £107,800.56, covers services pertaining to the development of transport policy and strategy for the West Midlands region. The procurement was executed using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract period running from 17th June 2025 to 17th December 2025.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses engaged in consultancy services, particularly those specialising in transport systems and policy development. Although the opportunity was awarded to Waterman Aspen Limited, a large-scale supplier, similar businesses with expertise in strategic planning, stakeholder collaboration, and research within the transport sector could find opportunities for growth in future procurements of this nature. Firms adept in political, economic, environmental, social, and technological policy development might be particularly well-suited for such opportunities, especially when aiming to collaborate with regional authorities and governmental departments.
