Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process by the West Midlands Combined Authority focuses on transport systems consultancy services, particularly the MRH - MiRANDA Modelling project. This procurement, which involves further MiRANDA (Midlands Rail Network Demand Assignment) appraisal support, falls under the category of services. It covers two key regions in the UK: the East Midlands and the West Midlands. The procurement was carried out through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender process is complete, with significant dates being the announcement of the awarded contract on 4th August 2025, subsequent to the tender period ending on 9th June 2025. The contract is set to commence on 16th August 2025 and will conclude on 31st March 2026, with a total value of £30,000.

This contract presents meaningful opportunities for businesses engaged in the transport consultancy sector, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive demand assignment and appraisal support services. Large firms, such as the awarded supplier Mott MacDonald, are especially well-suited for this project due to the scale and specificity of the expertise required. While the procurement method indicates a call-off contract from a pre-existing framework, businesses looking to expand into government-led projects or the regional rail consultancy market may find alignments in aligning their competencies with such tenders. The preference for large enterprises over SMEs or VCSEs suggests that businesses with considerable experience and resource capabilities would be favoured in similar opportunities.
