This initiative aimed to assess various types of workspaces, including laboratories, co-working spaces, and incubators, across the GBSLEP region in the West Midlands, UK. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 6 August 2021. The awarded contract, valued at £49,735, was granted to Partnering Regeneration Development Ltd, with the contract period spanning from 1 November 2021 to 28 February 2022. This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the consultancy and research sectors, particularly those specialising in workspaces, urban regeneration, and socio-economic studies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this tender particularly accessible due to its open procurement method. Businesses capable of contributing to the audit findings and analysis regarding workspace utilisation, as well as those experienced in providing management consultancy services, would be well-positioned to benefit from such engagements. ## Notice The Greater Birmingham and Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership (GBSLEP) is seeking to commission an audit of the current workspace offer across the GBSLEP geography and to consider the value of different types of workspace to Greater Birmingham both locally, and more widely, economically, environmentally and socially, now and in the future. This should include research and information on the range of workspaces available including labs (and types of), clean workspace, open space, co-working environments, incubators and accelerators. This research is intended to create a greater understanding of the challenges for employment/workspace and how, if appropriate, the public sector can safeguard and support existing workspace and encourage the creation of new capacity, potentially on the back of regeneration and housing growth as well as the opportunities arising from the pandemic and changes to working patterns and forecast growth for certain sectors.
