Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority commissioned a consultancy to create Design Principles for improvements to transport interchanges. The work covers the development of a coherent set of principles to guide interchange improvement projects across the West Midlands. It is a professional services requirement in project management consultancy (CPV 72224000), delivered in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The commissioning organisation is West Midlands Combined Authority, based in Birmingham. The requirement is relevant to consultancies that advise public authorities on transport infrastructure, interchange planning, design standards or project management, particularly where they can turn improvement objectives into practical principles for future schemes.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 17:00, and the contract was awarded on 27 August 2026. WSP UK LTD was selected for an award of £51,839.43 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 28 August 2026 to 27 February 2027. The tender had an estimated value of £51,839.43. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The process was for services and was assessed through the framework call-off route; the published information does not set out separate lots or detailed award weightings.

For a supplier that did not win this requirement, the procurement indicates demand from West Midlands Combined Authority for specialist consultancy supporting transport interchange improvements. A credible competitor would need to combine project management consultancy with transport planning and interchange design capability, and be able to develop clear, usable design principles for a public-sector client. Experience of translating strategic transport objectives into practical guidance for infrastructure projects would strengthen its position. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist consultancies may be well placed to compete where they can demonstrate the relevant technical team, delivery capacity and understanding of the West Midlands transport context.
