UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Yorkshire Combined Authority commissioned business and management consultancy services to support the development of a potential West Yorkshire Energy Fund. The work covers economic and financial modelling for a Strategic Outline Case, helping the authority assess and shape the proposed Fund. This is advisory work rather than construction, energy installation or direct delivery of infrastructure. The requirement is focused on the West Yorkshire area and is relevant to consultancies with experience advising public authorities on investment funds, energy programmes, economic appraisal and financial modelling. It may also suit specialist teams able to turn complex economic and financial analysis into a clear Strategic Outline Case for senior decision-makers and public-sector approval processes.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Carbon Trust Advisory Ltd. It used a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 13 July 2026, and the active contract runs from 13 July 2026 to 28 February 2027. The awarded contract value is £60,000 gross. There was one completed lot covering the strategic outline case support requirement. The award concerns services classified as business and management consultancy. The selected supplier is Carbon Trust Advisory Ltd, an SME. The procurement therefore demonstrates a targeted, single-supplier appointment through a limited route, with the buyer seeking specialist support for the proposed West Yorkshire Energy Fund rather than a broad, multi-lot consultancy framework.

For a supplier assessing future work from West Yorkshire Combined Authority, this procurement shows demand for focused consultancy supporting public-sector energy investment decisions. A credible competitor would need demonstrable capability in economic and financial modelling, investment-fund design and preparation of Strategic Outline Cases. Experience of working with combined authorities or other public bodies would help, particularly where analysis must support formal approval and funding decisions. Relevant teams are likely to combine economists, finance specialists and public-sector advisers who can explain assumptions, options, risks and likely impacts clearly. The requirement also indicates that a relatively small specialist consultancy can be selected for a defined analytical assignment, rather than the buyer necessarily seeking a large delivery organisation or infrastructure contractor.
