The West Midlands Combined Authority on behalf of Midland Metro Limited (MML) is looking to procure a suitably experienced and qualified provider of Overhead Line Equipment Services including the completion of a fault-bank of works, maintenance works, resilience works, and emergency response provision.

This tender is being evaluated on the basis of 45/45/10 quality/price/social value. Please note that a financial assessment will be undertaken as part of the Standard Selection Questionnaire (SSQ) process. If a bidder fails their self-assessment but agrees a range of mitigating measures during the clarification period of the tender, their tender responses will be scored in line with the published criteria providing the remaining requirements of the SSQ have also been met. An additional financial assessment may be conducted on the proposed supplier immediately prior to contract award, to provide extra assurance and to consider the latest financial information if there is a protracted tender duration between the SSQ stage and the final contract award. Also, bidders will need to submit their social value submission directly via the Social Value Portal by the tender closing date.
Please see the tender documents for further details of the framework including how to register to attend the tender site visit on 20th October 2023 and how to complete the social value submission directly to the Social Value Portal by the tender closing date.
