This exercise aims to gather information on traffic management provisions within the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom and will not lead to a contractual award but may inform future procurement decisions. Interested parties must respond to the exercise by 12 noon on 20th February 2017, with questions due by 12 noon on 17th February 2017. The process is being conducted through the BravoSolution e-tendering system. This benchmarking exercise presents an opportunity for businesses involved in traffic management and infrastructure services, particularly those specialising in traffic lights, monitoring equipment, and associated maintenance services. Companies that can provide insights or solutions related to traffic control and installation are encouraged to participate, potentially positioning themselves favourably for future contracts that may arise as a result of this exercise. ## Notice Benchmarking Exercise Information: The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) on behalf of the Midland Metro Alliance (MMA) is undertaking this benchmarking activity for Traffic Management Provisions. As this is a benchmarking activity it will not result in a contractual award; it will however, assist in the decision making process as to whether to undertake a subsequent formal procurement (tender) exercise. Interested participants in this benchmarking activity are invited to complete the attached Excel 'Schedule of Rates' document plus include any additional information that would support your submission. The benchmarking exercise is being administered via our e-tendering system BravoSolution you can access all relevant information by registering to the site: https://wmca.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html The deadline for responses is 12 noon on Monday 20th February 2017 and if you have any questions please submit them, via this the BravoSolution system, by 12 noon on Friday 17th February 2017. Background to the Midland Metro Alliance: In June 2016 the WMCA completed a procurement exercise which resulted in Colas Rail and Egis Rail (and consortium partners) appointed to undertake all design and construction activity in relation to the Midland Metro for up to the next 10 years; these organisations along with colleagues from the WMCA are working collaboratively as a single integrated team to make up the MMA. The MMA are tasked with delivering all extensions and improvements to the Midland Metro Programme working in a truly collaborative and integrated way in accordance with the agreed alliancing principles to achieve the joint vision and goals whilst living the alliance values and behaviour. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/09f5f8e2-31bb-434b-87d9-9596cedea762 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WEST MIDLANDS COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B19 3SD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Newtown | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 45 - Construction work - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 63 - Supporting and auxiliary transport services; travel agencies services ### Codes - 34996100 - Traffic lights - 45316210 - Installation of traffic monitoring equipment - 45316212 - Installation of traffic lights - 45316213 - Installation of traffic guidance equipment - 50232200 - Traffic-signal maintenance services - 63712700 - Traffic control services ## Release History - 28 Nov 2017 at 12:19 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/09f5f8e2-31bb-434b-87d9-9596cedea762 - 6 Feb 2017 at 14:56 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dea1279d-7665-4451-b79d-29ed982832b5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/09f5f8e2-31bb-434b-87d9-9596cedea762 28th November 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dea1279d-7665-4451-b79d-29ed982832b5 6th February 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://westmidlandscombinedauthority.org.uk/ - https://wmca.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
