## Summary

West Midlands Combined Authority commissioned consultancy services for the Midlands Rail Hub project’s Nottingham–Lincoln element. The work concerns infrastructure consultancy related to this rail scheme, rather than construction delivery itself. The procurement was managed by the authority, based in Birmingham. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery place is identified. The requirement is focused on advice and consultancy for the Nottingham–Lincoln part of the Midlands Rail Hub, making it relevant to firms working in rail infrastructure consultancy and related project support.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to Steer Davies & Gleave Limited. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026 and is active, with a value of £40,000. The award was made through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. The stated rationale was additional services ordered from the original supplier under the conditions allowed by the regulations; the procurement also cites protection of exclusive rights. The requirement was organised as one lot, but that lot is recorded as cancelled while the award and contract are active. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded.

This award shows demand from West Midlands Combined Authority for specialist consultancy on the Nottingham–Lincoln element of a rail infrastructure programme. A credible competitor for comparable work would need experience providing consultancy tied to rail infrastructure projects, with the ability to support a defined corridor or scheme rather than deliver construction. The selection took place as additional services from an original supplier, so incumbency and continuity with existing work were material to this particular award route. Firms seeking to compete when this buyer next procures a comparable requirement should be able to demonstrate relevant project knowledge and deliver focused technical consultancy at a modest scale. Price was the recorded evaluation basis, so a clear, competitive cost proposal would also matter.
