Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority procured quantity surveying support for its rail programme and a bus depot in the West Midlands. The work covers reviewing contract and framework documents, key performance indicators, designs and contract packages; analysing costs and advising on procurement strategy; identifying commercial risks, including health and safety implications; and identifying costs and managing scheme budgets from start to completion. The service also includes checking that construction and cost documentation is approved before works begin, monitoring delivery commercially, administering contracts, and reviewing contractor communications, claims, payments and variations. The quantity surveyor supports the Commercial Manager on programme validation, early warnings, compensation events and project manager assessments. The procurement was categorised under accounting and auditing services (CPV 79210000), although the described requirement is quantity surveying.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Matchtech Group. West Midlands Combined Authority made a direct award through Lot 2 of the MHA PSP4 Framework, using a limited procedure without a prior call for competition. One bid was recorded, and price was the stated award criterion. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and has an awarded value of £111,588. The procurement data marks the lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; this creates a conflict in the published status information, so the award to Matchtech Group is reported alongside that discrepancy. No contract period is stated.

For suppliers seeking comparable quantity surveying work with West Midlands Combined Authority, this award indicates demand for commercial and cost-control support across rail and bus infrastructure. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate quantity surveying capability across the full project lifecycle: budget development and tracking, cost analysis, procurement advice, contract and design review, and commercial monitoring of delivery. Experience administering contracts and handling contractor claims, payments, variations, early warnings and compensation events would be directly relevant, as would the ability to check construction documentation and support programme validation. Suppliers should be prepared to identify commercial and health and safety risks, maintain compliance with contract conditions and governance requirements, and work closely with a Commercial Manager. The buyer used a direct award from an established framework and evaluated on price; framework access and competitive pricing therefore shaped this route and outcome.」}৷ өҫગીOptionals?
