This initiative aims to enhance the national landscape for tourism, trade, and investment in the West Midlands region. The procurement involves research and development services, with a contract value of £50,000. The tender period ends on 29th June 2023, and the contract is planned to run from 7th July to 29th September 2023. This opportunity presents a chance for businesses specialising in research, development, and consultancy services to engage with the region's strategic growth plans. Companies with experience in innovative solutions, relationship management, and business development are well-suited to compete. SMEs are particularly encouraged to participate in this open procurement process to contribute to the region's economic development. ## Notice The West Midlands Growth Company (WMGC) is helping to create new jobs, expand existing businesses and attract new businesses and investment to the region, aligned to the ambitions set out in the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) Plan for Growth. The WMGC is owned by the WMCA and its seven Constituent Members, with governance that heavily involves the private sector in the majority. Its core WMCA and local authority funding will be used to attract significant additional funding from the private sector and other sources, such as future Devolution Deals. Further information on the West Midlands Growth Company can be found here: www.wmgrowth.com. WMGC has been developing proposals for "Global West Midlands" - a series of systems changes to improve the national landscape for attracting tourism, trade, and investment; fiscal instruments to ensure competitiveness; and deliverable initiatives. Linked in part to the trailblazing deeper devolution deal announced in March 2023, the development of a Strategic Relationship Management programme that is scalable for the region is a crucial part of these plans. The West Midlands covers the geography of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA). This includes the cities of Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton. The area is located strategically at the centre of the UK, with 90% of the UK's population within 4 hours drive or train time. Served by Birmingham Airport, the UK's fastest-growing airport, local connectivity is being enhanced by a PS5.1 billion investment to expand local rail, tram and bus rapid transit systems. High Speed Two (HS2) is the largest infrastructure project in the UK currently and when completed will link the region with London in just 38 minutes. HS2 will increase capacity and bring people and goods to and from London and other major UK cities much faster. The region is home to one of the youngest populations in Europe, with 32% under the age of 25 and with 8 leading universities, the region educates 160,000 students and produces more than 55,000 graduates each year. The region is already home to the UK's most entrepreneurial city outside of London. The West Midlands' economy is deeply rooted in innovation, and today a golden thread of technology has positioned the region as a leader in industries of the future. The West Midlands offers a vibrant leisure scene and a high quality of life that makes it the most popular place in the UK for the country's relocating residents. Coventry became the UK's 2021 City of Culture, and Birmingham hosted the 2022 Commonwealth Games, putting the region in the global spotlight, whilst two of its football clubs challenge the very best in the Premier League. The region is consistently the second highest performing region for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the UK after London and the South East.
