Notice Title

WMCA Transport Planning Framework Agreement

Notice Description

The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) aims to deliver world class integrated transport across the West Midlands. The Transport Planning team of Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) supports other TfWM and Local Authority (LA) partner teams in doing so. The team has evolved and grown but volumes of work, as well as the need for independent advice and specialist expertise not always found within the team, mean an ongoing need for consultancy support to supplement its work which would look to be sourced via this framework.
