## Summary

The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) awarded a contract to Bradshaw Advisory LTD to serve as a consultant for the development and creation of a regional heritage framework for the WMCA area. Falling under the industry category of Business and Management Consultancy Services (CPV code 79410000), this project will take place in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement process for this service, categorised as a limited method due to it being a competitive quotation below the threshold value of £35,000, has moved to the award stage. The contract commenced on 27 June 2024 and will conclude by 30 September 2024. Key dates include the tender period ending on 22 April 2024, followed by the contract's awarding on the same date with a formally published award notice on 8 August 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) interested in shaping regional heritage policy and projects. Given its focus on thorough policy review, stakeholder consultation, and framework development, it is highly suitable for consultants specialising in heritage, strategic planning, and public policy. Businesses that excel in data mapping, stakeholder engagement, and case study development could leverage this contract to establish or strengthen their foothold in public sector consulting, particularly within the heritage sector.

## Notice

An RfQ was issued to procure a consultant to support the planning and delivery of the WMCA Regional Heritage Framework, under the CWGLEF. The 5-year WMCA Heritage Framework will set out an ambitious vision for the heritage of the WMCA area and should serve as the foundation for WMCA's heritage policy going forward. The provider will review WMCA and national stakeholders' policies and government regulations related to heritage, map baseline data for the development of the framework, undergo consultation with stakeholders at a regional level, develop case studies, and support in the development of the final framework draft.
