## Summary

The York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority has awarded a contract to ChamberlainWalker Economics to support the development and acceleration of housing capabilities within the region, following the announcement of Local Growth Plans and proposed reforms to the National Planning Policy Framework. This contract, valued at £78,055.5, will run from 27 February 2025 to 31 May 2025 and covers research, development consultancy, and housing services within Yorkshire and the Humber. The procurement was managed by the City of York Council using an open procedure, with the tender period having ended on 12 February 2025.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specializing in consultancy services related to research, development, and housing. Companies with expertise in creating strategic growth plans, as well as those with a focus on housing policies and infrastructural projects, are well-suited to compete for such contracts. Engaging with this procurement process can aid businesses in expanding their market presence and contributing to significant regional development initiatives.

## Notice

The York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority (The CA) was created in January 2024 and elected its first Mayor in May 2024. Implementation of the devolution deal is now underway, and we are seeking to bring external support into the Combined Authority to develop and accelerate our housing ambitions, pending recruitment of key posts. Linked to this was an announcement from government for combined authorities to produce Local Growth Plans (long term plans that identify growth sectors and put in place the programmes and infrastructure they need to thrive) and proposed reforms to the National Planning Policy Framework; both of which put greater emphasis on increasing housing numbers.
