Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The "Seasons of Culture Nature pilot" contract was awarded by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, a key public body in England located in Leeds. The tender involved evaluating a cultural project, emphasising nature and sustainability, intended to engage communities across West Yorkshire and beyond. Primarily classified under "Evaluation consultancy services" (CPV: 79419000), the procurement followed a selective, restricted procedure. The contract, now in the award stage, was finalised on 10th April 2026, with the contract period running from 13th April 2026 through 12th April 2027. While the project spans several locations, the focus remains on spaces within West Yorkshire and includes broader delivery addresses such as the British Overseas Territories and other global regions.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for large consultancy firms with expertise in cultural evaluations, sustainability projects, and community engagement. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) might find participation challenging due to suitability criteria. Businesses involved in biodiversity and environmental storytelling could find synergies with this project. West Yorkshire's emphasis on promoting relationships between communities and nature further opens avenues for firms looking to expand their portfolio in culturally rich and environmentally conscious initiatives.
