## Summary

West Midlands Combined Authority bought specialist consultancy services for technical analysis and consultancy work. The requirement sits within the professional services category and supports the authority’s need for specialist advice. The buying organisation is West Midlands Combined Authority, a public authority based in Birmingham. The awarded work is intended for delivery across the United Kingdom. The scope is described at a high level as specialist consultancy services, with the classified service being technical analysis or consultancy. This is relevant to consultancies that provide specialist technical analysis, advisory work or related professional expertise for public-sector clients, particularly those able to work with a combined authority and deliver assignments across the UK. The requirement was organised as a single completed lot.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown. The contract was awarded to WALNUTWORKS LTD, an SME. The award value is £11,514 net, or £13,816.80 gross, in GBP. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 August 2026. The contract is active. The award relates to the single lot covering the specialist consultancy requirement. The available procurement record identifies technical analysis or consultancy services as the purchased category. The published outcome shows one selected supplier and one active contract; it does not describe a separate evaluation weighting or a cancelled award.

This award demonstrates demand from West Midlands Combined Authority for short-duration specialist consultancy involving technical analysis or related advisory expertise. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show a clear ability to provide specialist consultants, analyse technical issues and turn findings into advice that a public authority can use. Relevant evidence would include comparable consultancy assignments, suitably qualified personnel, reliable project delivery and the capacity to mobilise quickly for a focused engagement. Suppliers should also be able to work within public-sector contracting arrangements and demonstrate sound governance, reporting and stakeholder communication. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist consultancy rather than only by a large professional-services firm.
