## Summary

The West Midlands Combined Authority has completed a procurement process titled "Design and Planning Application Support," aimed at providing architectural and related services for grade 2 listed buildings. This procurement falls under the services category within the CPV classification, with services expected to be delivered across multiple UK regions, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The procurement followed a limited method, rationale being that it involved a supplier already engaged in the project, sidestepping a call for competition. The contract, valued at £45,000, was awarded to Corstorphine and Wright, an SME based in Warwick, on 15 May 2025.

This tender presents business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs and businesses specialising in architectural and engineering services with experience in heritage building projects. The procurement's focus on architectural services offers niche opportunities for businesses proficient in working with listed buildings. Contracting with a regional authority such as the West Midlands Combined Authority may lead to further collaborations on local authority projects, making it attractive for businesses looking to expand their portfolio within the public sector.
