## Summary

West Midlands Combined Authority procured phase 2 transition renewal works to mitigate issues at Priestfield on the Midland Metro. The work covers review of stored ballast levels, complete removal of contaminated ballast down to geotextile level, replacement and alignment of ballast, drainage surveying and cleaning, and drainage design. This is track construction work for Midland Metro Limited, delivered in the West Midlands. The requirement sits within the authority’s rail and light-rail infrastructure responsibilities and is focused on renewing track formation and associated drainage rather than general civil engineering. Businesses with experience in tramway or railway track renewal, ballast handling, contaminated-material removal and drainage works would find the technical scope most relevant.

The procurement has reached completion and was awarded through a direct award under the Midland Metro Limited Single Supplier Framework, without a further competition. The contract was awarded to Haigh Rail Limited, an SME, and signed on 31 July 2026. Its value is £135,448.37 including the stated currency of GBP. The procurement used a limited procedure, with price as the award criterion. The single lot covering the Priestfield mitigation and transition renewal works is marked cancelled, while the recorded award and contract are active. The award was made directly because the framework had a sole supplier and allowed call-off contracts without reopening competition. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically by an SME.

This procurement shows demand from the West Midlands Combined Authority for specialist light-rail track renewal and mitigation work delivered through an established single-supplier framework. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in assessing and replacing ballast, including identifying and removing contaminated material to geotextile level, followed by accurate track alignment. It would also need rail or tramway drainage expertise covering site surveys, cleaning and design, with the ability to coordinate these activities as one work package. Relevant delivery experience on operational or urban rail infrastructure, competent site and environmental controls, and evidence of completing technically integrated track and drainage works would strengthen a supplier’s position. The selected supplier’s SME status indicates that specialist smaller contractors can be suitable for this scale of requirement.
