## Summary

The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) has completed the procurement process for "Active Travel Technical Consultancy Support". This tender falls within the Transport systems consultancy services category (CPV 71311200) and is located in Birmingham, UK, with postal code B19 3SD. The contract, valued at £118,393.6, has been awarded to Sustrans, effective from 3rd February 2025 to 2nd February 2026. The procurement method used was a call-off from a framework agreement, indicative of a selective procurement process. Initially tendered to support local authorities in design assurance for City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS) schemes, the consultancy aims to enhance compliance with grant requirements and improve infrastructure delivery capability.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport system consultancy and related technical services. SMEs and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises) are particularly suitable to compete, given the project's focus on upskilling and capacity building within the WMCA's Active Travel Hub. This commission not only involves providing immediate technical support but also aims at fostering long-term skill enhancement within the core team. Businesses equipped with creative engineering expertise and committed to sustainable travel infrastructure will find this contract especially beneficial for growth and visibility in the sector.

## Notice

The Active Travel team has an immediate requirement for technical consultancy support. This is with the remit of maximising funding opportunities and to deliver high quality infrastructure. The purpose of setting up a 12-month Active Travel Technical Support Commission is to expand the Active Travel Hub's capacity/capability in supporting the WMCA's Local Authorities on design assurance for CRSTS(City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement) schemes. This will ensure compliance with grant conditions. A team of technical support specialists graded against role are required with a creative engineering viewpoint. The longer-term plan is that these skills are established within the core team and TfWM therefore require the upskilling of the current team to be a feature of this commission.
