## Summary

West Midlands Combined Authority procured project-planning services for TfWM, supporting a metro-related project. The requirement is a business and project support service rather than physical construction, equipment supply or general transport operations. The work is delivered in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. It was arranged as a call-off from the Midlands Highway Alliance Framework PSP4, so the opportunity was aimed at suppliers already eligible to compete through that framework route. Matchtech Group was the selected supplier. Businesses considering similar work should therefore focus on project planning and coordination for major public transport or infrastructure programmes, particularly where the client is a combined authority or transport body in the West Midlands.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 26 August 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 1 May 2026 at 12:00. The contract runs from 18 May 2026 to 18 November 2026. The awarded value is £117,600, including the stated currency of GBP. West Midlands Combined Authority awarded the contract to Matchtech Group. The award is active and the procurement is recorded as complete. The published evaluation basis is the selection of a supplier through the existing framework call-off process. The requirement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This procurement demonstrates demand from West Midlands Combined Authority for dedicated project-planning support on a metro-related transport programme. For a supplier that did not win this call-off, the main commercial lesson is that relevant framework eligibility can be decisive: competitors would need to be positioned to take part through the Midlands Highway Alliance Framework PSP4 or an equivalent route used by the buyer. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable project-planning and coordination capability for public transport or infrastructure work, with the organisational capacity to support a defined, time-limited commission. Experience of working with combined authorities, transport bodies and complex public-sector programmes would strengthen its position when this buyer next tests a similar requirement.
