Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority procured consultancy services relating to Opex/WEB’s custodianship. The work is classified as infrastructure works consultancy, although the description does not set out specific tasks or deliverables. The procurement was divided into one lot. Birmingham is the authority’s base; the stated delivery location is the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and an active award and contract are recorded for AtkinsRealis UK Limited. The contract value is £36,586 and it was signed on 22 October 2026. The award date is not stated. The authority used a limited procedure without publishing a prior competition notice, on the basis that the services repeated existing work under the applicable conditions. The procurement used a framework agreement. Price was the stated award criterion, and one bid was recorded. The lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

This award shows demand from the West Midlands Combined Authority for consultancy connected with Opex/WEB’s custodianship, procured as a repeat of existing services. A supplier seeking to compete for this specific requirement in future would need relevant consultancy capability in custodianship and a price that can compete under an evaluation based on price. The selected supplier was a large consultancy, and the recorded competition attracted one bid. These details indicate the scale and route evidenced by this procurement; they do not establish additional technical, accreditation, staffing or capacity requirements.
