Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority procured specialist Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) project and programme management services for its regional traffic signal team. The appointed consultant is required to support improved and innovative traffic signal network management, working with the signals team to manage the preparation and completion of a Programme Business Case. This is a professional project-management and business-management consultancy requirement, rather than construction work. Delivery is in the West Midlands region. The buyer is West Midlands Combined Authority, based in Birmingham. The contract is awarded to Constellia Public Limited, which will subcontract the work to Spring Bridge Ltd. The requirement concerns ongoing programme support for the authority’s traffic signal network and related business-case development.

This procurement has been awarded through a limited direct award using the Agri-EPI Centre Framework, without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026. It runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an option to extend by three months. The contract value is £158,204.08 including the stated contract value. Constellia Public Limited is the awarded supplier, and £155,040 of the work is to be subcontracted to Spring Bridge Ltd. One bid was recorded. The award criterion was price. The procurement is recorded as complete, and the award is active. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and used a single lot for the ITS programme-management requirement.

This award identifies a defined market need for suppliers able to manage complex ITS programmes supporting traffic signal networks at regional-authority level. A credible competitor would need practical experience of traffic signal or intelligent transport systems, programme and project management, and the preparation and completion of a Programme Business Case. The requirement also favours organisations able to work closely with an operational signals team, coordinate specialist activity and support innovation in network management. The buyer used a framework direct-award route, so future credibility may depend on access to relevant frameworks as well as demonstrable technical and consultancy capability. The subcontracting arrangement indicates that delivery capacity can include a lead consultancy coordinating specialist delivery partners.
