Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority appointed a temporary Commercial Manager to support Sprint Phase 2 of its Bus Priority Programme and other construction projects as required. The work is construction consultancy and professional commercial management, delivered in the West Midlands. The appointment uses the Midlands Highways Alliance Plus Professional Services Partnership 4 framework. The role is linked to the authority’s bus-priority programme, with the potential to support additional construction projects within its remit.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Matchtech Limited. The award was made on 14 October 2026, for £159,469.35. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The authority used a selective call-off from an existing framework, rather than a standalone open competition. The published information identifies one requirement and does not break it into separate lots. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026. The award information does not state evaluation criteria or detailed eligibility requirements.

This appointment indicates demand from West Midlands Combined Authority for temporary commercial management capacity supporting bus-priority delivery and construction projects. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need to provide an experienced commercial manager able to work within a public-sector construction programme and support commercial activity across more than one project when required. Familiarity with highways and transport infrastructure, programme delivery, and the commercial controls used on construction projects would be relevant to demonstrating fit. The route used here was a call-off under the Midlands Highways Alliance Plus Professional Services Partnership 4, so framework access is important to competing through the same purchasing route. The stated SME and voluntary-sector suitability settings were both negative.
