Summary of the contracting process

The recent contracting process conducted by the West Midlands Combined Authority focused on a consultancy service titled "Multi Modal Study for Witton and Aston Rail Stations." This procurement, categorised under "Miscellaneous business and business-related services," aimed at developing a comprehensive transport operational plan for event days at Villa Park. Located in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom, the process utilised a selective procurement method as a call-off from an existing framework agreement. The tender reached its award stage on 3rd August 2026, having started earlier with the tender period ending on 10th July 2026. The contract, valued at £29,491, officially commenced on 20th July 2026 and will conclude by 4th September 2026.

This tender presents an opportunity for large consultancy firms specialising in transport planning and infrastructure development. Given its focus on comprehensive planning for event day logistic operations around major venues, businesses with expertise in stakeholder engagement and multi-modal transport solutions are particularly well-suited to participate. Though the contract was awarded to Steer Davies and Gleave Limited, similar future opportunities can propel business growth for consultancies aiming to engage with complex operational frameworks and public infrastructure projects in the UK.
