Summary of the contracting process

The West Midlands Combined Authority has completed the Supply Chain Transition Programme tender, aimed at supporting businesses vulnerable to sectors dependent on fossil fuels. The programme will assist at least 160 businesses in the West Midlands by March 2025. It involves up to 4 suppliers delivering services split across 4 clusters, each supporting 40 businesses. The contract value for each cluster is £250,000, with a total programme value of £1 million.

This procurement opportunity offers businesses in the consultancy services sector a chance to contribute to business development in the West Midlands. Providers with experience in supporting sectors transitioning away from fossil fuels and expertise in supporting vulnerable business sectors would be well-suited to compete. The programme presents an opportunity for businesses to gain new orders, particularly those registered in specific local authorities within the West Midlands region.
