Summary of the contracting process

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority has been engaged in a procurement process for the Investment Readiness Programme, aimed at developing services to support businesses in preparing for investment. This procurement falls under the business services industry category, including law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security services. The process was initiated as a planned tender on 23rd May 2025, with the procurement category classified as services and valued at £2.2 million. The contract period was projected from 1st November 2025 to 30th October 2028. Although there was initial planning, the tender was subsequently withdrawn, as of 6th November 2025, due to a review of the requirement, and a new approach is under consideration. This procurement is relevant primarily to the region of Leeds, United Kingdom.

Despite the cancellation of this particular procurement process, opportunities for future tenders may arise, especially with the potential review and new approach being considered. This represents an opportunity for businesses involved in the specified industries, especially those with expertise in delivering comprehensive business services, to position themselves for future engagement with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority. Companies capable of offering robust consulting, marketing, or investment-related advisory services could particularly benefit, as they align well with the programme’s intended objectives. This opportunity would be ideally suited for businesses seeking to expand their portfolio within the UK public sector, providing services that enhance business readiness for investment.
