UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority bought consultancy services for business continuity resilience, response and recovery. The work concerns business analysis consultancy supporting the authority’s ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from disruptions. The contracting authority is West Midlands Combined Authority, based in Birmingham. Delivery is stated for the United Kingdom. The requirement was treated as a services contract and was arranged as a single procurement lot. It is relevant to consultancies that advise public authorities on business continuity, organisational resilience, incident response and recovery planning, particularly firms able to combine business analysis with practical continuity advice. The selected supplier, Beacon Resilience & Continuity Ltd, is an SME based in Derby, indicating that the requirement was suitable for a specialist consultancy rather than only a large national provider.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, Beacon Resilience & Continuity Ltd, was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 22 February 2027. Its value is £75,000 excluding VAT, or £90,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition, so the authority invited competition from a restricted field of suppliers. The outcome shows demand for a defined consultancy assignment delivered over roughly six months. The evaluation basis is reflected in the requirement for business continuity resilience, response and recovery consultancy, with business analysis consultancy as the stated classification.

This procurement is useful market evidence for consultancies specialising in business continuity and resilience work for public bodies. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to analyse an organisation’s business needs and translate that analysis into practical arrangements for resilience, incident response and recovery. Experience of advising on continuity across public-sector or similarly complex organisations would help establish relevance, while the selected SME shows that specialist firms can compete for this scale of assignment. Firms should be able to provide consultancy across the full resilience cycle rather than focusing only on emergency response or recovery. The buying route also matters: this authority used a below-threshold limited competition, so suppliers need to be visible to the authority and ready to respond to an invited, tightly scoped consultancy opportunity.
