Published requirement description

The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) is developing further extensions to Midland Metro. Metro Line 1 has been in operation since 1999 and the Birmingham City Centre Extension (BCCE) has been open since May 2016.

WMCA is appointing utility contractors to a tendered framework to assist the utilities team to deliver the diversions in advance of the main works. This framework contract is for the provision of Diversionary Utilities Works for Metro Extensions and any Major Highways Schemes.

The framework is split into two Lots:

  • Lot 1 (Communications, Electricity and Gas infrastructure)
  • Lot 2 (Water-Clean and Waste infrastructure)

CPV: Construction work for highways, roads
