## Summary

West Midlands Combined Authority procured part-time senior project-management and operational leadership for the ITS World Congress 2027. The Silver Command lead links Gold-level governance with Bronze delivery teams, coordinating the programme and delivery through to the Congress. The work also covers stakeholder engagement, programme integration, risk management and commercial assurance. The buyer is West Midlands Combined Authority, based in Birmingham, and the procurement relates to delivery in the West Midlands. This is a specialist leadership and programme-coordination requirement for a major transport technology congress, rather than a purchase of equipment or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the award is active. West Midlands Combined Authority used a limited direct award through the Agri-EPI Centre framework, without a prior competition; the recorded evaluation criterion was price. One bid was recorded. The contract was awarded to Constellia Public Limited, with JFG Communications Ltd named as subcontractor. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and is scheduled to run from 1 September 2026 to 31 October 2027. Its contract value is £158,793.37. A separate subcontract value of £155,617.50 is recorded for the work to be carried out by JFG Communications Ltd. The requirement was arranged as one lot, and the lot is marked cancelled, although the overall tender and award are recorded as complete and active.

For suppliers seeking comparable future work with West Midlands Combined Authority, this award shows demand for senior, part-time programme leadership to coordinate a complex, time-bound international transport event. A credible provider would need to bridge strategic governance and operational delivery, integrate multiple workstreams, engage stakeholders, manage delivery risks and provide commercial assurance. Experience coordinating major events or similarly complex programmes, and the ability to work effectively across senior decision-makers and delivery teams, are directly relevant. The buyer used an existing framework route and appointed a lead supplier that subcontracted delivery to a communications firm, so framework access and the ability to organise specialist subcontractors may matter. The recorded evaluation basis was price, making cost competitiveness relevant alongside the leadership and coordination capability.
