## Summary

West Midlands Combined Authority procured project engineer services for Metro through its Midlands Highways Alliance Framework PSP4. The requirement is a professional business and business-related service, covering project engineering work associated with Metro in the West Midlands. Delivery is in the West Midlands, with the buyer based in Birmingham. The procurement concerns a defined engineering resource rather than construction works, equipment supply or general consultancy. It is relevant to organisations providing project engineering support for transport or infrastructure programmes, particularly suppliers already positioned to work through the named highways alliance framework. The buyer is West Midlands Combined Authority, a public-sector organisation responsible for coordinating activity across the West Midlands.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from the Midlands Highways Alliance Framework PSP4. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value was between £67,200 and £134,400, and the contract was awarded at £134,400. West Midlands Combined Authority awarded the contract to Matchtech Group on 11 August 2026. The contract period runs from 6 July 2026 to 5 January 2027. The award is active. The procurement is for services and used a framework call-off route rather than an open tender. The process was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indication of West Midlands Combined Authority’s demand for project engineering support on Metro-related work. A supplier seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need demonstrable capability to provide a project engineer for transport or infrastructure delivery in the West Midlands, together with the organisational scale and framework access needed for a selective call-off. The outcome shows that the buyer used an established highways alliance framework and selected Matchtech Group, a large supplier. Businesses outside the SME and VCSE categories, with relevant project engineering resources and experience of public-sector framework procurement, are the closest fit for this type of requirement.
