UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The West Midlands Combined Authority has awarded a contract for the "AIR QUALITY SCHOOLS EDUCATION TOOLKIT" project, focused within the public authority sub-central government classification. This procurement process, which has reached the award stage, falls under the services category involving software packages and air quality management. The toolkit is designed to be utilised by schools across the West Midlands region, serving Key Stages 1 to 4. The procurement, conducted through a limited competition method due to its below-threshold classification, was finalised on 29th August 2025, with the contract set to run until the end of December 2030. The initiative will be spearheaded by PWLC Projects LLP, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Croydon, known for their expertise in developing educational materials.

This procurement project presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational content creation and software development, particularly those with a focus on environmental themes. Given the project's duration and scope, it offers substantial prospects for sustained business growth and brand establishment within the educational sector. Companies adept in integrating technology with educational frameworks, especially firms experienced in air quality management systems, would find this contract advantageous. Moreover, the initiative not only enhances environmental awareness among young learners but also opens pathways for further educational projects within the public sector.
