This will cover primary materials such as timber, concrete and steel and the codes from BCIS will be provided at ITT.

Why this procedure was chosen
A contract award notice was published in relation to the Package Two on 22 June 2022 (under FTS reference 2022/S 000-016720), and described the contract as follows: "We are seeking to appoint a Principal Contractor on a design and build basis under a NEC 4 ECC Target Cost Contract to construct 3 new stations at Moseley, Kings Heath and Hazelwell including supporting rail infrastructure works. The Project will consist of the design and construction of (3) three new stations at Moseley, Kings Heath and Hazelwell and supporting rail infrastructure works, on the Camp Hill Line between Birmingham New Street and Kings Norton to support access for new train services that increase connectivity in the Greater Birmingham area." It has become necessary to modify the contract and increase the Target Price due to unforeseen circumstances The amendments do not alter the overall nature of the contract that was originally procured, however, it would not be possible to compete this work on the open market due to timescales and work carried out to date by the awarded provider. To ensure service continuity the WMCA has taken the decision to award the contract to their current provider under Regulation 32(2)b (ii) of the Procurement Regulations 2015, based on the grounds that competition is absent for technical reasons. The West Midlands Combined Authority will now enter a 30 day standstill period before formally awarding the contract.
