Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority has completed the procurement process for the Metro Depot Post Contract Fire Consultancy Services, targeting the building consultancy services industry. This tender involves consultant services for fire remedial works at the Wednesbury Metro depot, located in Birmingham, UK. As part of a limited procurement method, the contract was awarded directly via the Agri-EPI Centre Framework, bypassing prior publication of competition calls. The process concluded with the contract signed on the 25th of September 2025, and while the primary lot was cancelled, an optional extension of 36 weeks is included to ensure project continuity. The services are to be delivered across multiple UK regions including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for large consultancy firms specialising in fire safety and remedial works for depot environments. Businesses with expertise in technical assurance and design inspections stand to benefit, as they can engage directly through frameworks such as the Agri-EPI Centre. The award of £551,564.29 to Constellia Limited underscores the potential for lucrative contracts within regional or local authority initiatives. Companies that can provide extended support beyond standard project timelines may find additional competitive edges in demonstrating flexibility and comprehensive service provisions.
