## Summary

West Midlands Combined Authority procured programme management services linked to its Metro Delivery Programme. The requirement falls within highways consultancy services (CPV 71311210) and was for a Programme Manager supplied through temporary professional staffing or secondment arrangements. The work was to be delivered in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement was made by the Authority as the public-sector buyer. It used the Midlands Highways Alliance Plus – Professional Services Partnership 4, Lot 2, which covers temporary professional staff and secondments. The requirement is therefore relevant to organisations providing senior programme management and professional staffing support for major transport or highways delivery programmes, rather than to suppliers of physical construction works or general goods.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 22 May 2026 at 18:00. The estimated procurement value was £42,400 to £109,180 (GBP). The contract was awarded to Matchtech Group (UK) Limited on 28 May 2026 for £42,400 (GBP). The awarded contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 18 September 2026, with an optional six-month extension stated in the requirement. The award is active. The process was evaluated through the framework call-off route, under the framework’s Lot 2 for temporary professional staff and secondments. The contract covers one programme management requirement associated with the Metro Delivery Programme.

For suppliers that did not win this requirement, the award demonstrates demand from West Midlands Combined Authority for externally supplied programme management capability supporting a major transport delivery programme. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide an experienced Programme Manager, understand highways and transport programme environments, and supply professionals through temporary staffing or secondment models. Familiarity with public-sector delivery, governance, stakeholder coordination, programme controls and complex infrastructure portfolios would strengthen its position. The successful route was a professional services framework call-off, so relevant suppliers should be able to operate within framework arrangements and respond to selective opportunities. The buyer’s stated suitability assessment did not identify this requirement as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs.
