## Summary

The procurement process for the role of a Design Manager for the Metro team was initiated by the West Midlands Combined Authority. This tender falls under the industry category of business and management consultancy and related services, with a CPV code of 79400000. Located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom, the procurement had reached the award stage as of 19th May 2026. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 1st March 2026, and the contract is set to run from 1st April 2026 to 30th October 2026. The total contract value is £55,000, and the process has been classified as complete.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in the transport and management sectors. As it required a call-off from an existing framework agreement, companies already part of such frameworks could have competitive advantages. While small and medium enterprises (SMEs) were not specifically targeted, larger consultancies, like Matchtech Group Limited—the supplier awarded the contract—would find this opportunity well-suited to their capabilities, potentially leading to business growth within the West Midlands transport framework managed by the West Midlands Combined Authority.
