Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council procured commercial management services for its Interim Services Contract. The requirement is categorised as management-related services and is a services procurement delivered for Birmingham City Council in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The work supports the council’s Interim Services Contract rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. The named buyer is Birmingham City Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement was organised as a single lot. The service is therefore relevant to organisations providing commercial management, contract management or related management support for public-sector interim service arrangements. Its scope is described at a high level as commercial management services on the council’s Interim Services Contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Birmingham City Council used a direct award because the contract was novated from Birmingham Highways Limited to the council. TSA Riley Limited was awarded the single lot on 21 July 2026 for £1,200,000 excluding VAT, or £1,440,000 including VAT. The award was above the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. It is an active contract. The procurement is under a concession special regime. The published outcome records a single supplier and does not state an evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This procurement indicates demand from Birmingham City Council for externally provided commercial management services linked to an Interim Services Contract. A future competitor would need a service offering that directly addresses commercial management in a public-sector interim-services environment, with the organisational capacity to support a contract of substantial scale. Credibility would depend on demonstrating relevant experience of managing commercial arrangements, administering contractual obligations and providing dependable advice or oversight to a large public authority. Suppliers should also be prepared to operate within the council’s procurement and contract-management requirements and to evidence appropriate governance, reporting and resource arrangements. The awarded supplier is a large commercial services business, indicating that scale and established delivery capability may be relevant.
