This initiative aims to distribute £1.8 million to support businesses in accessing specialist advice and small capital equipment across West and North Yorkshire, including regions such as Bradford, Leeds, and Wakefield. The procurement is currently at the Award stage, with the significant contract period starting from 21st September 2020 and concluding on 1st March 2021. The procurement was executed through an open procedure, with a deadline for responses to the tender set for 10am on 1st September 2020. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses that specialise in grant management and administration services, particularly those capable of delivering effective programmes at pace while ensuring compliance with European funding rules. Businesses with experience in working with public sector clients or those providing consultancy and support services in grant allocation are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this process could significantly enhance their visibility and contribute to their growth in the competitive public service market. ## Notice The West Yorkshire Combined Authority (the Combined Authority) and Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (LEP) has been awarded PS1.8m to support businesses access specialist business support and small capital equipment across the whole of West and North Yorkshire (Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield) and North Yorkshire (Craven, Hambleton, Harrogate, Richmondshire, Ryedale, Scarborough, Selby and York). We are now looking for an organisation to manage and deliver this grants programme at pace, and in a compliant and value for money manner. The Kickstarting Grants Programme will need to commence immediately and will run until the end of March 2021, with final grant applications to be appraised by the end of February 2021. This Contract is partly financed by the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) and European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and as such is ran in strict compliance with the applicable rules and principles set out within these funding arrangements.
