Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority procured gauge corner restoration works for Midland Metro Limited in Birmingham city centre. The work covers restoration activities within 68 metres of embedded tram track throughout the city centre. This is specialist railway and tramway track construction work, classified under CPV 45234116. The requirement is for physical works on existing urban transport infrastructure rather than general training, consultancy or routine building services. Delivery is in Birmingham, with the Combined Authority acting as the buying organisation and Midland Metro Limited as the service beneficiary. Businesses should therefore have a practical capability in track maintenance or renewal, particularly where works must be carried out around embedded track in a dense city-centre environment and within a live public transport setting.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was a below-threshold utilities procurement using a tender process. One award was made to INLINE TRACK TRAINING LIMITED, an SME, and the resulting contract is active. The contract was signed on 6 July 2026 and runs from 6 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £87,680 excluding VAT, or £105,216 including VAT. The award covers the gauge corner restoration works for Midland Metro Limited in Birmingham city centre. The procurement was treated as a single completed lot. The published data identifies the successful supplier and contract outcome, but does not provide a separate award date or stated evaluation weighting.

This procurement indicates demand for specialist tramway track restoration from a public transport organisation in the West Midlands. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable experience of gauge corner restoration and track construction, together with the equipment, trained workforce and site controls needed to work on embedded track. The Birmingham city-centre setting points to a need for careful planning around constrained access, public safety, pedestrians, traffic and tram operations. Suppliers should also be able to manage work within a defined track length and coordinate delivery for a public-sector transport asset owner. The successful supplier’s SME status shows that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a major infrastructure contractor.
