## Summary

The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) recently completed a procurement process for the development and creation of a regional arts & culture framework under the Central West Growth Local Engagement Fund (CWGLEF). The tender, titled "Consultant for the development and creation of a regional arts & culture framework for the WMCA area," falls within the Business and management consultancy services sector. The contract, valued at £31,488, was awarded through a limited competitive quotation method. The project sought a consultant to deliver a comprehensive culture framework for the West Midlands area, encompassing both quantitative and qualitative research methods. The activity spanned from 27 June 2024 to 30 September 2024, with key deadlines including the tender period's end on 22 April 2024 and the award on 3 May 2024.

This contract highlights the importance of local, regional, and national evidence-based planning, offering a competitive platform for enterprises focused on cultural and organisational development within the public sector. The WMCA's focus on a diverse and comprehensive consultation process also provides potential for further collaborations and continued business growth in similar public sector projects.
