## Summary

West Midlands Combined Authority procured project engineering consultancy for Transport for West Midlands’ Sports Quarter Metro extension programme. The role provides technical leadership during the Preliminary Design phase and supports preparation of the Transport and Works Act Order submission, helping the programme progress towards delivery. This is a professional project management consultancy service, classified under CPV 72224000, rather than construction or the supply of equipment. The work is delivered in the West Midlands, with the buying organisation based in Birmingham. The requirement is focused on a project engineer able to operate within a major transport infrastructure programme and contribute both design leadership and statutory consenting support. It is suitable for organisations providing engineering project management and related transport consultancy services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 14 July 2026 to MATCHTECH GROUP (UK) LIMITED. The awarded value is £198,240, with a contract period from 27 July 2026 to 26 July 2027. The procurement had an estimated value range of £89,080 to £198,240. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 10 July 2026 at 5pm. This was a single services requirement, evaluated through the framework call-off process. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

This award indicates established demand from West Midlands Combined Authority for specialist project engineering support on metro expansion and associated statutory approvals. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide senior technical leadership through preliminary design, understand the interfaces and governance of transport infrastructure programmes, and support the preparation of a Transport and Works Act Order submission. Relevant experience in project management consultancy for rail, metro or comparable public transport schemes would strengthen a supplier’s position, alongside the capacity to provide a suitably qualified project engineer for a year-long assignment. The procurement route also shows that access to an appropriate framework can be important when this buyer appoints suppliers. SMEs and VCSEs were identified as suitable organisation types, while the appointed supplier was a large business.
