About

West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) is seeking suppliers to apply for membership of the Qualifying Utilities Dynamic Market (QUDM) being established as part of its bus franchising programme, under which the West Midlands bus network will move from a deregulated system into public control. The Invitation to Apply for Membership (IAM) and Dynamic Market Questionnaire (DMQ, Appendix B) are available to download; applicants must submit their completed DMQ and any other required information electronically via ProActis (no other submission method will be accepted). WMCA will assess each application in accordance with the IAM. ITTs for franchised bus services and associated services will be issued in three tranches (Tranche 1 ITT issue date: 17 August 2026; Tranche 2 from March 2027; Tranche 3 from October 2027) and may be divided into lots as set out in the IAM; for Tranche 1 applications must be submitted by 12:00 BST on 31 July 2026, or applicants will be unable to take part in that tranche.
