Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority commissioned a transport planning consultancy study for Witton and Aston rail stations and the surrounding transport network serving Villa Park. The work covers the development of an evidence-based, multi-modal operational plan for event-day movements to and from the stadium. It involves working with relevant stakeholders and operational partners across all transport modes, and identifying the operational requirements associated with suggested infrastructure improvements. The service is classified as business and business-related consultancy services. Delivery is in the West Midlands, centred on Witton and Aston rail stations and Villa Park. The buyer is West Midlands Combined Authority, based in Birmingham. The requirement is a service rather than construction or the supply of goods.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a selective call-off from the WMCA Transport Planning Framework, rather than as an open competition. The tender deadline was 10 July 2026 at 12:00. West Midlands Combined Authority awarded the contract to Steer Davies and Gleave Limited on 14 July 2026 for £29,491 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 4 September 2026. The award is active. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The procurement category is services, with evaluation through the framework call-off process.

This award indicates demand for specialist transport planning support linked to major events, rail stations and stadium access in the West Midlands. Competitors seeking comparable work from this buyer would need to demonstrate the ability to produce evidence-based multi-modal plans covering rail, road and other transport modes, while coordinating public authorities, transport operators, event stakeholders and other operational partners. Credible suppliers would also need to assess operational requirements alongside proposed infrastructure improvements and turn that analysis into a practical event-day movement plan. The buyer’s use of a transport planning framework and selective call-off route makes framework access and the capacity to respond to structured consultancy commissions commercially important. The requirement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, indicating a preference for larger established consultancies.
