## Summary

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority has successfully awarded a contract for the procurement of advertising and marketing services to LEXINGTON COMMUNICATIONS LIMITED, under the title "Public Affairs Agency Brief". The tender focused on creating a public affairs campaign aligning with West Yorkshire's priorities before a Government Spending Review. The procurement process was carried out using the selective method through a restricted procedure and has reached the Award stage. This contract spans from 19th May 2025 to 27th March 2026, with primary objectives executed between March and June 2025, followed by an additional campaign phase. The procurement is particularly significant for the West Yorkshire region, and the agency will facilitate campaign activities across various locations, including the UK and wider international regions.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in marketing and public affairs, especially those experienced in large-scale campaign management. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) were deemed suitable to compete under this procurement, indicating potential for diverse company involvement. With the contract details and requirements outlined, experienced marketing and advertising agencies capable of strategic engagement on governmental priorities stand to benefit and gain prominence in the West Yorkshire region and beyond.

## Notice

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority has appointed an agency to develop a public affairs campaign that specifically covers an intense period of activity between March and June 2025 to meet our immediate objectives of attempting to align Government to West Yorkshire's priorities ahead of the Spending Review. This is particularly significant given West Yorkshire Combined Authority is in the second cohort of areas that will receive an Integrated Settlement from March 2026. Immediate objectives to deliver between March and June 2025 will then be supported by an additional nine-month period of campaign activity from June 2025 to March 2026.
