Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority procured senior project management services for the Kitts Green Bus Depot project and the Buy Before You Board initiative for Metro. The requirement is a professional service covering project management across these two transport-related activities, classified as miscellaneous business-related services (CPV 79990000). Delivery is in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The work is being bought by the West Midlands Combined Authority, whose responsibilities include procuring services for the area’s transport infrastructure and programmes. This opportunity is therefore relevant to organisations providing senior project leadership, programme coordination and delivery support for public transport, depot or passenger-service projects, particularly those able to operate across multiple related workstreams for a public authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It was run as a selective call-off from the Midlands Highway Alliance Framework PSP4, rather than as an open competition. The submission deadline was 15 June 2026 at 12:00. Matchtech Group was awarded the contract on 11 August 2026 for £225,760 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2027. The tender records the requirement as a services contract, with the procurement conducted through the framework call-off route. The award is active, and the successful supplier is identified as Matchtech Group. The recorded suitability position indicates that participation was not specifically targeted at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from West Midlands Combined Authority for senior project management supporting both bus-depot development and passenger-facing transport initiatives. A credible competitor would need senior project managers able to coordinate complex public-sector delivery, manage interfaces between infrastructure and service-change workstreams, and provide reliable governance, reporting, risk control and stakeholder management. Experience in public transport, depot programmes or comparable transport infrastructure would strengthen a future proposition. The requirement was fulfilled through the Midlands Highway Alliance Framework PSP4, so relevant suppliers would also need access to that framework route, or a position within an equivalent procurement supply chain. The selected supplier was a large organisation, indicating capacity to sustain senior resource across a substantial multi-year assignment.
