With the impending changes to reforms in the rail industry and with Great British Railways (GBR) being established, WMRE is looking for support to develop and evidence information to build upon a Blueprint for the future role of WMRE.

About the buyer

West Midlands Combined Authority runs regional transport, growth and skills programmes for seven West Midlands councils, and buys as a local authority with its own procurement team. Transport for West Midlands, the authority's transport arm, procures local transport policy and delivery on its behalf. The Mayor and the leaders of the seven constituent councils sign off major contracts through the authority's board.

A rolling pipeline lists larger opportunities expected over the next eighteen months.

Over the past 5 years, most of the West Midlands Combined Authority's contract awards have been in architectural and engineering services, business services and IT services.
