        "title": "Supply Chain Transition (Investment Zone)",
        "description": "The aim of the Supply Chain Transition (IZ) Programme is to help manufacturing businesses in the West Midlands to diversify their customer base and win new orders in growing areas of the local economy (as defined in the WMCAs 'Plan for Growth'). They will achieve this by working with a dedicated Delivery Partner (the successful supplier), who will provide one-to-one technical coaching on how to improve business performance, create action plans detailing the steps required to achieve growth and deliver training programmes in change management. The Delivery Partner will also be responsible for distributing grant funding. These grants will be used as a contribution towards the costs associated with the research and development projects identified in the action plans, focusing on helping supported businesses to transition into new supply chains. Additional information: The indicative contract value for this requirement is between PS2,500,000 and PS2,975,000 (excluding VAT). The initial contract duration is June 2025 to 31st March 2026 (circa 10 months). Please note however, the WMCA will be incorporating three separate 1 year (12 month) extension options into the contract and each extension will be worth up to PS2,975,000, subject to funding availability and mutual agreement between the WMCA and successful Delivery Partner. This means a total potential contract value of PS11,900,000 over a 3-year, 10-month period. Bidders are instructed in the ITT documents to bid for the initial contract value and duration (up to PS2,975,000 and between June 2025 to 31st March 2026).",
