Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority commissioned a Mid-Career Progression Training Programme for 12–15 participants, as part of the Create Central BFI Skills Cluster programme. The supplier is responsible for designing, marketing and delivering the programme, recruiting and managing participants, and providing wraparound support, mentoring and career guidance. The work also includes engaging with industry and monitoring and reporting on the programme. This is a training and programme-management service, delivered in the West Midlands.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. West Midlands Combined Authority used a below-threshold limited competition. Mission Accomplished Limited was awarded the contract, which is active and was signed on 29 September 2026. The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its value is £67,300 excluding VAT (£80,760 including VAT). The procurement was divided into one lot. The published information does not state the award date or explain the evaluation criteria.

This requirement suits a training provider or programme-management business able to design and deliver career-development programmes for mid-career participants, while recruiting and supporting a small cohort. Credible suppliers need to bring mentoring and career-guidance capability alongside participant management, industry engagement, and the capacity to monitor and report on delivery. The selected supplier is a small business, showing that this work was delivered by an SME. For this buyer, relevant experience should combine practical programme delivery with the ability to coordinate participants and industry stakeholders within the Create Central BFI Skills Cluster context.
