Summary of the contracting process

The Tees Valley Combined Authority is overseeing a procurement process titled "TVCA-PROC-0606 - Business Tees Valley Website Development" in the industry category of business services, including law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. Located in Darlington, UK, the procurement was initially active and seeking to appoint a qualified supplier to design, develop, and launch a new digital platform for Business Tees Valley. Although the tender was initially open with a submission deadline of 29th May 2026, it was later cancelled on 18th May 2026 as the authority decided to reconsider the scope, delivery approach, and timescales for this project.

This procurement offers potential growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in web development, digital marketing, and IT consulting. Businesses excelling in quality service delivery, competitive pricing, and providing social value would be well-suited to this project. Despite the cancellation, similar opportunities may arise as the authority reflects on new approaches, making it valuable for enterprises to monitor further announcements from the Tees Valley Combined Authority.
