## Summary

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority is seeking expert support through an open tender entitled "HS2 Growth Strategy - Funding and Finance." This project aims to develop comprehensive growth strategies that will maximise the economic benefits of the HS2 rail project in cities such as Leeds, situated in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. Key aspects include articulating the economic narrative of HS2 and formulating a robust funding plan. The tender was published on 2 November 2016, with a submission deadline of 23 November 2016. The contract, valued at £100,000, spans from 12 December 2016 to 31 October 2017 and involves consultancy services related to business and management. 

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in business and management consultancy services, particularly those with experience in economic impact analysis and strategic funding planning. Companies capable of navigating public sector land assembly strategies and driving economic growth initiatives in urban settings would find this project particularly relevant. Engaging in such tenders can help businesses enhance their profile, establish crucial networks, and grow their market presence by contributing to high-profile government projects.

## Notice

Government requires growth strategies to be produced to maximise the economic benefits of HS2 in cities and city regions where stations will be situated. This invitation to tender is for expert support to measure the economic benefits and articulate the economic narrative of HS2 arrival in Leeds and to measure the additional benefits of a package of policies that will spread the benefits of HS2 in the city and across city region. This is one of a number of invitations to tender for the HS2 Growth Strategy issued concurrently by WYCA . The services relate to provide a comprehensive, robust and deliverable funding and financing plan for the Growth Strategy that can be included within the City Region's Growth Strategy, alongside a public sector land assembly strategy to drive value capture, economic growth and, where relevant, relocation of key businesses within the city .
