Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Yorkshire Combined Authority commissioned evaluation consultancy services for the CityConnect Programme. The work covers all three phases of the programme and assesses their local and overall impacts on active travel across Yorkshire and the Humber, using new and existing data to the best standard permitted by the evidence. The evaluation must follow a programme-specific framework developed by the Combined Authority in line with internal and central government guidance. That framework includes the location, budget and baseline and ongoing monitoring of the schemes. Outputs are intended for dissemination to key stakeholders and to inform future active travel policy and delivery in the region. The buying organisation is West Yorkshire Combined Authority, based in Leeds, and the procurement is categorised as services.

This is a completed procurement: the contract was awarded on 30 June 2026 to Wavehill Limited, with an active award. The awarded value is £117,970 including the stated currency, and the contract runs from 17 July 2026 to 18 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 2 June 2026 at 2pm. The procurement used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. It was treated as evaluation consultancy services and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The evaluation was required to follow the Combined Authority’s programme-specific framework and cover the full CityConnect programme, its active-travel impacts, available data, monitoring evidence and stakeholder-facing outputs.

This award demonstrates demand from West Yorkshire Combined Authority for specialist evaluation of major active-travel programmes, rather than general management consultancy. A credible future supplier would need to design and deliver programme-level evaluations across multiple phases and schemes, analyse local and overall impacts, and make robust use of baseline, ongoing and newly available data. Experience of evaluation frameworks aligned with public-sector and central-government guidance would be important, as would the ability to assess budgets, locations and monitoring arrangements consistently across a portfolio. The work also requires clear communication: findings must be suitable for key stakeholders and capable of informing future policy and delivery. Smaller evaluation consultancies are explicitly within the intended supplier market.
