WMCA intend to award one contract to a Provider with a demonstrable track record of providing in-depth support to Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs). The provider can be a single organisation or part of a consortium. If bidding as a consortium, a declaration must be made confirming all members of the consortium and their respective roles in delivery of the services and a lead organisation must be appointed to enter the contract with WMCA if successful. This contract aims to deliver additional activity under the existing Supply Chain Transition (CWGLEF) Programme to help ambitious businesses in the West Midlands before the end of March 2025. The target audience that the programme aims to support are small and medium-sized enterprises (SME's) who are vulnerable to declining sectors and who are registered in the local authorities of Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall, or Wolverhampton, or with premises where over 75% of national activity takes place.

The Supply Chain Transition (SPF) Programme must be designed in collaboration with a key customer, or customers, who may also be involved in the delivery of the support. Interested Providers must demonstrate relationships with key customers and how they will be involved in the programme. A "key customer" is an organisation already operating in the sectors listed above which spends or plans to spend a significant amount on goods and services in the UK. Additional information: The initial contract value for this requirement is between PS600k-PS750k (exc. VAT). The indicative contract duration is October 2024 until 31st March 2025 (6 months).
