## Summary

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority is seeking consultancy services for their project titled "Flexible Ways of Working". This procurement falls under the IT services industry and is located in central Leeds, with a contract period from 21 January 2018 to 16 March 2018. The procurement method used was an open procedure. The tender was completed with a value of £30,000, and the procurement process has been officially awarded to Alysium Consulting Limited, as of 14 January 2018. The deadline for submissions was 4 December 2017.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for SMEs and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in IT consulting and technology implementation. Companies with expertise in developing innovative working practices and technology solutions are especially well-suited to compete in this process. Engaging in such projects can enhance a business’s portfolio and visibility within the public sector, positioning them for future collaborations with government entities.

## Notice

WYCA is currently seeking to develop and implement new and more flexible ways of working in parallel to the planned refurbishment of the organisation's head office building which is located in central Leeds. More flexible working practices are needed both to maximise the capacity that can be achieved following the office refurbishment and also to embed better ways of working to increase efficiency and drive culture change. As part of this work, we are seeking a consultant to advise on the development and implementation of a technology approach to support our flexible working ambitions.
