UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the West Midlands Combined Authority focused on securing the services of a CDM (Construction Design and Management) principal designer for the EV CATS project. Located in Birmingham, this contract falls under the services category, specifically within risk or hazard assessment for construction. The procurement was conducted using a limited competition method, categorised as "Below threshold," and reached the award stage with a contract now active. The contract commenced on 1st August 2025 and continues until 31st March 2027, marking a key phase in the Authority's infrastructure and safety management for electric vehicle projects in the region. The total value of the contract stands at £94,200 gross, with the award made on 21st July 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction safety, particularly those equipped to handle pre-construction management and health and safety coordination. SMEs with expertise in construction risk assessment are particularly well-suited to compete for similar future procurements, especially those looking to expand their portfolio within sub-central government projects. The involvement of a local SME, TCC-CORP LIMITED, in this process underscores the feasibility and potential for growth for small to medium enterprises in the region's evolving infrastructure landscape.
