Sector Research

Notice Description

The West Midlands Growth Company (WMGC) will help to create new jobs, expand existing businesses and attract new businesses and investment to the region, aligned to the ambitions set out in the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) Strategic Economic Plan. Formerly Marketing Birmingham, the company was established in April 2017. It continues to operate leisure and business tourism programmes Visit and Meet Birmingham, inward investment programme Business Birmingham and its partnership programme. The WMGC has been established in partnership with Local Enterprise Partnerships, local authorities, Growth Hubs, universities and a wide range of businesses across the private sector. It focuses its core activities across Greater Birmingham and Solihull, Coventry and Warwickshire and the Black Country, with the potential and scope to deliver services in a wider Midlands context. The WMGC is owned by the WMCA, its Constituent Members and Universities, with governance that heavily involves the private sector in the majority. Its core WMCA and local authority funding will be used to attract significant additional funding from the private sector and other sources, such as future Devolution Deals. It has been decided not to divide this contract into lots. This is because splitting into lots would necessarily involve a great deal of preparatory research and client liaison for each Lot which would generate unnecessary duplication of effort and introduce inefficiencies with regard time and cost. The main objective of the project is the development of a new inward investment strategy which will underpin the company's business plan for the WMCA region. For this tender, the WMCA region refers to the 3 LEP geography of the Black Country, Greater Birmingham and Solihull and Coventry and Warwickshire LEPs. The research project will provide the WMGC with the relevant and high-quality information necessary to select key sectors for inward investment and help promote the WMCA region to potential investors.
