Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for a project titled "Accessibility Tool" by West Yorkshire Combined Authority is now in the award stage, having been completed on 12th May 2026. As a sub-central government public authority, they have procured through a direct procurement method, specifically below the threshold without competitive bidding. The procurement falls within the services industry category, particularly focusing on IT and research-related consultancy services. The headquarters are located in Leeds, United Kingdom. The project scope includes acquiring an off-the-shelf transport accessibility tool for multi-modal accessibility assessments, among other functions. The awarded contract period begins on 15th May 2026, with a potential extension up to 15th May 2029, subject to the achievement of service level agreements (SLAs).

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in IT consultancy, software development, and related services. Podaris Limited, an SME based in London, successfully secured the contract, indicating that small and medium enterprises are competitive contenders in such procurements. Companies that specialise in developing and supporting software tools, especially those offering consultancy services within the public transportation sector, may find similar procurement opportunities highly beneficial for business growth. Additionally, businesses able to deliver service level agreement-compliant solutions with flexibility for future project adaptations are well-positioned to engage in similar public sector contracts.
