Project Overview:

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 timeline for completion is 31/03/2024, although an earlier completion date is desired.

Further to holding an extensive market briefing and engagement event, we have listened to market concerns and have refined the approach and content of the procurement and requirements in a number of areas to address potential issues where possible.

WMCA propose to incorporate Clause X1 into the building contract to alleviate Contractors risk on material price fluctuations. This will cover primary materials such as timber, concrete and steel and the codes from BCIS will be provided at ITT.
