Idea

There are several versions of a (very large) 2-category of model categories, depending on which notion of transformation of adjoints one takes to be the 2-morphisms between 1-morphisms given by Quillen functors.

One choice is to consider 2-morphisms to be conjugate transformations of adjoints between Quillen adjunctions [Hovey (1999), p. 24, cf. also Harpaz & Prasma (2015), Def. 2.5.3], such that forgetting the model category-structure is a forgetful 2-functor to Cat Adj Cat_{Adj} :

ModCatCat AdjCat. ModCat \longrightarrow Cat_{Adj} \longrightarrow Cat \,.

Therefore a pseudofunctor Cat\mathcal{B} \longrightarrow Cat which factors through ModCatModCat this way has as Grothendieck construction a bifibration of model categories. Under good conditions, the domain of this bifibration carries itself an induced model category structure, see at model structure on Grothendieck constructions.
