Summary of the contracting process

The West Midlands Combined Authority, a regional or local authority based in Birmingham, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for the "Independent Review of West Midlands Capital Infrastructure." This tender falls under the industry category of infrastructure works consultancy services, with a focus on services. It aims to develop a Spatial Development Strategy and a regional infrastructure plan to stimulate growth in the area. The contract was a direct award via the Agri-EPI Centre (AEC) Framework to Constellia Limited, without prior publication of a call for competition, and was effectively signed on 4th September 2025. The project spans from 7th August 2025 to 31st January 2026, with an option for a two-month extension at no additional cost.

The tender opens significant opportunities for businesses specialising in infrastructure consultancy services, especially those with capabilities in transport infrastructure. Although this specific procurement was a direct award, it highlights the potential for partnerships and subcontracting, as evidenced by Prysm Global's involvement as a subcontractor valued at £151,530.61. Large-scale firms like Constellia Limited, which have existing relationships with frameworks such as AEC, are well-positioned to compete for similar projects.
