UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority commissioned highway and road construction for Sprint Phase 2, Package G1, in Walsall town centre. The works cover five Sprint stops: three in Walsall and two in Sandwell. This is a single-package construction requirement focused on delivering the stops and associated highway works across the two areas. The buyer is West Midlands Combined Authority, a public authority serving the West Midlands. The contract is for physical construction rather than a supply-only purchase or a general transport service, and its stated scope links the work to the Sprint programme. Delivery locations are described at regional level in the award information, while the project description identifies Walsall town centre and the stops in Walsall and Sandwell.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Fitzgerald Contractors Limited. The authority used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The award covers one lot; no separate award amounts are reported for individual stops. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and runs from 22 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its gross contract value is £1,737,527.02. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions, so the basis on which bidders were assessed cannot be summarised beyond the limited-competition route. The award is for highway and road construction works associated with the five Sprint stops in Walsall and Sandwell.

This award shows that West Midlands Combined Authority buys substantial, time-bound highway construction packages to deliver Sprint stops, rather than only transport planning or vehicle services. Fitzgerald Contractors Limited, a small or medium-sized business, was selected for this package, demonstrating that a specialist contractor of that scale secured the works. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need proven capacity to deliver road and highway construction across multiple urban sites, coordinate works at several stops, and complete a defined construction package within a concentrated programme. Relevant experience in town-centre delivery and managing construction activity across Walsall and Sandwell would align with the stated scope. The award provides evidence of the buyer's demand for contractors able to undertake integrated highway works tied to public transport infrastructure.
