Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority procured a senior assurance analyst for its Metro team, within the DAHO team. The role is technical governance and business/management consultancy: establishing and enforcing a compliance framework for asset handover, and assuring that data passed from project delivery into operational ownership meets ISO 55013 and ISO 19650 standards. The work bridges technical document control and higher- to mid-level handover assurance. The procurement is for a short-term resource rather than a defined package of goods or construction works. Delivery is in the West Midlands.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Matchtech Group. The contract is active and was signed on 20 August 2026, at a value of £51,600. The contract period and award date are not stated. The authority used a limited, below-threshold direct call-off from Lot 2 of the MHA PSP4 framework, without a prior competition. Price was the stated award criterion, and one bid was recorded for the lot. The procurement was treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive. The requirement was described as short-term; no duration is stated.

For this buyer’s future Metro asset-handover requirement, a credible supplier needs to provide senior technical governance expertise and the ability to establish and enforce a compliance framework. Relevant capability includes assuring data transitions from project delivery into operational ownership, bridging technical document control with handover assurance, and working to ISO 55013 and ISO 19650. The requirement demonstrates demand for short-term specialist resource rather than a broad consultancy programme. The route used was a call-off through an existing framework, with price as the stated award basis, so suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work would need access to the applicable framework and the capacity to supply a suitably experienced analyst.
