The business case is intended to support the project in securing delivery funding from the West Midlands Combined Authority. The work covers completion of the FBC rather than construction or physical transport works. Delivery is in England, with the corridor located across Dudley and Sandwell boroughs. The procurement is categorised as services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement was titled CWC26149 – BCT A461 FBC and used the council’s existing procurement route for specialist highways consultancy. The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award under the ESPO 664_25 framework, Lot 5. The submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 23:59. The contract was awarded to Haskoning UK Limited on 25 August 2026 for £87,410 GBP. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 15 February 2027. The selected supplier is responsible for completing the Full Business Case for the A461 Multi Modal Corridor. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier. The award route was a direct award rather than an open competition, so the opportunity demonstrates the buyer’s use of a framework-based route for this requirement. For suppliers that did not win, this award provides a clear indication of the capability Wolverhampton City Council and Black Country Transport require for the A461 corridor: specialist highways consultancy combined with the ability to complete a robust Full Business Case. A credible future supplier would need experience in multi-modal corridor or transport business-case development, and the capacity to produce work that supports investment and funding decisions by bodies such as the West Midlands Combined Authority. Experience of delivering consultancy through an established public-sector framework would also be relevant, particularly ESPO 664_25 Lot 5. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a focused consultancy with strong transport appraisal and business-case expertise could be well placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns. ## Notice City of Wolverhampton on behalf of Black Country Transport is seeking an organisation to deliver the completion of the Full Business Case (FBC) for the A461 Multi Modal Corridor located in Dudley & Sandwell Borough. This FBC is essential for the project to unlock delivery funding from the West Midlands Combined Authority.
