## Summary

West Midlands Combined Authority procured temporary document control support for its Metro Team. The requirement was for the appointment of a Document Controller, supporting the management and administration of project documentation within a highways and construction consultancy setting. The service is categorised as construction consultancy services (CPV 71530000) and is delivered in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. This is a professional services requirement rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. The buyer is the West Midlands Combined Authority, based in Birmingham. The contract terms include an option to extend the temporary resource for a further 26 weeks.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 12 August 2026 to Matchtech Limited. The awarded value is £46,800, with the overall estimated value stated as £93,600 and a minimum estimated value of £46,800, all in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 30 November 2026. The submission deadline was 15 May 2026 at 18:00. This was a selective direct award call-off from the Midlands Highways Alliance, Professional Partnership 4 Framework, Lot 2 for Temporary Staff and Secondments. The award was active, and the requirement was evaluated through the established framework call-off route rather than an open competition.

This award demonstrates demand from the West Midlands Combined Authority for temporary document control capability supporting a Metro Team and highways-related professional work. A credible future competitor would need to provide suitably capable Document Controllers who can manage project documentation reliably in a construction consultancy environment, understand the demands of infrastructure programmes and work effectively within a public-sector client team. Experience supplying temporary staff or secondments through a relevant professional services framework would be commercially important, as this requirement was placed through an established framework route. The buyer’s stated suitability assessment did not reserve the opportunity for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, and the selected supplier was a large organisation.
