UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The West Midlands Combined Authority, a public authority in Birmingham, UK, completed a procurement process for the provision and installation of VECOM units on Bilston Road, Midland Metro Limited. This contract, identified as MML STA-100, falls under the utilities industry category and involves replacing existing equipment that has reached the end of its operational life. The procurement was conducted through a direct method, below the competition threshold, with no competitive process involved. The contract was awarded to PROJECT AUTOMATION S.p.A., Italy, and is scheduled to run from 1 July 2026 until 31 December 2026, with the contract valued at £141,522.00 excluding VAT.

This procurement opportunity highlights significant potential for businesses that specialise in railway traffic-control equipment, specifically suppliers with capabilities in technological innovations for public transport systems. Companies positioned to offer cutting-edge technology solutions that can be directly implemented in sub-central government projects would find this contract particularly beneficial. While this contract has been awarded, similar opportunities may arise, making it prudent for businesses in the utilities and transport control sectors to explore partnerships with organisations like the West Midlands Combined Authority.
