UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority commissioned services to assess how its transport system can prepare for climate change and to develop an evidence base for transport climate adaptation. The work covers a strategic climate risk assessment of the transport system; assessment of the economic costs and impacts of climate change and transport-system vulnerability; and recommendations on governance, resources, processes and investment priorities. Required outputs include a draft report, an executive summary, final reports and associated outputs meeting the specification. The main work is economic impact assessment and transport climate-risk analysis, delivered for the West Midlands Combined Authority across the West Midlands. This is a public-sector transport resilience and climate adaptation consultancy requirement, rather than a construction, vehicle supply or routine transport operation contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Mott MacDonald Limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 10 July 2026. The contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 February 2027. Its value is £74,951 excluding VAT, or £89,941.20 including VAT. The award concerns the full transport climate preparedness and evidence-base requirement described above. The award date is not separately stated in the published procurement data. The process was evaluated through the limited-competition route; specific quality, price or other award criteria are not set out. The contracting authority is West Midlands Combined Authority.

This procurement shows demand from the West Midlands Combined Authority for specialist evidence-led consultancy at the intersection of transport, climate change and economic analysis. Competitors seeking similar work should be able to assess strategic climate risks across a transport system, quantify economic costs and vulnerability, and turn analysis into practical recommendations on governance, resources, processes and investment priorities. Credibility would also require the ability to produce clear executive-level summaries, robust draft and final reports, and associated technical outputs in line with a detailed specification. The requirement suits established multidisciplinary consultancies combining transport planning, climate adaptation, risk assessment, economics and public-sector strategy, with sufficient analytical and report-production capacity to deliver an end-to-end evidence base for a combined authority.
