About

West Midlands Combined Authority awarded a contract to PA Consulting Services Ltd for consultancy support on the cEMV (contactless EMV) ticketing project.

The project aims to introduce a contactless ticketing system for public transport users on bus and tram across England, in partnership with Project Coral, a bus operators' group.

PA Consulting had previously assisted TfWM and Project Coral in developing an amalgamated technical specification in 2021 and has continued to support workstreams including commercial modelling analysis, supplier engagement, testing technical questions, and hosting a risk workshop.

The contract, valued at AUD 250,000, covers further support prior to and during tender publication, including informing the procurement strategy and making final amendments to the technical specification.
