Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority procured temporary project management services to manage and co-ordinate infrastructure delivery projects through to completion. The requirement is for a Project Manager, covering construction project management services (CPV 71541000) within the West Midlands. The work is classified as a service and is intended to support the authority’s infrastructure delivery programme. The procurement was made through the Midlands Highways Alliance Plus Framework – Professional Services Partnership 4, Lot 2, which covers temporary professional staff and secondments. The appointed supplier is Matchtech Limited, a large organisation providing temporary professional resource. The requirement is therefore suited to businesses supplying experienced project managers and professional staff for public infrastructure delivery, rather than suppliers of construction works or physical goods.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective process using a direct call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 26 June 2026 at 18:00. Matchtech Limited received the award on 16 July 2026 for £60,500. The contract runs from 2 July 2026 to 2 January 2027, with a six-month optional extension described in the requirement. The tender’s estimated value range was £60,500 to £121,000. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process; specific award criteria are not stated in the available procurement details. The contract is recorded as active, and West Midlands Combined Authority is the buying organisation.

This award demonstrates demand from West Midlands Combined Authority for temporary project management capability supporting infrastructure delivery. A credible future competitor would need to provide an experienced Project Manager able to manage and co-ordinate infrastructure projects through to conclusion, with practical knowledge of construction project management and public-sector delivery environments. Experience supplying temporary professional staff or secondments through a framework call-off route would be commercially relevant, as would the capacity to place suitably qualified resource with the authority and manage continuity across a substantial infrastructure programme. The requirement was identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that competing suppliers should be able to offer the scale, governance and resourcing expected from an established professional staffing business.
