UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority appointed project monitoring surveying services for the Digbeth High Street development in Birmingham. The work provides monitoring and assurance during construction, covering progress, insurance, cash flow, programme, procurement, costs and design documents. The appointed adviser must produce interim reports, review funding utilisation applications, verify expenditure, track variations and recommend whether funding can be drawn down. The adviser must also confirm that the applicant has met milestones under the funding agreement. This is a construction consultancy and construction management requirement, delivered in connection with the Digbeth High Street development. The contracting authority is the West Midlands Combined Authority, based in Birmingham. The procurement comprised one completed requirement and was awarded to Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited on 5 August 2026. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and runs from 11 August 2026 to 31 May 2030. Its value is £29,600 excluding VAT, or £35,520 including VAT. The contract is active. The authority used a below-threshold limited competition, meaning a limited number of suppliers were invited to compete rather than an open tender. The single requirement covered project monitoring surveying services for the Digbeth High Street development. The procurement was treated as a services contract, with construction consultancy and construction management classifications. The award relates to the whole requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from the West Midlands Combined Authority for independent construction project monitoring linked to development funding. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need credible capability in construction progress monitoring, review of insurance, cash flow, programmes, procurement, costs and design information. They would also need to provide clear interim reporting, assess funding utilisation applications, verify expenditure, monitor contract variations and support recommendations on funding drawdown. Experience of checking delivery against contractual or funding-agreement milestones would be directly relevant. The requirement suits established construction consultancies or project monitoring practices able to combine technical construction oversight with financial assurance and evidence-based reporting. Familiarity with working for a public authority and with development projects in Birmingham or the wider West Midlands would strengthen a future response.
