## Summary

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority has completed the procurement process for the "Evaluation of Adult Skills Provision in West Yorkshire" project. The contract, classified under the Evaluation consultancy services (CPV code 79419000), was awarded to Wavehill Limited. The end of the tender period was on 20th December 2024, with the contract running from 18th March 2025 to 18th August 2025. The procurement method used was selective via a restricted procedure. This project involves evaluating three years of adult skills intervention data in various locations including British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender provides valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services, especially those focusing on educational and vocational evaluations. The contract award for £62,212.50 presents a significant growth opportunity for companies that can offer innovative evaluation frameworks which can help shape future adult skills provision. While the contract was awarded to a large-scale enterprise, the suitability criteria indicate opportunities for SMEs to compete in similar future tenders, enhancing their prospects within the public sector market. Waveshill Limited exemplifies a successful bidder in this sector, demonstrating the potential benefits for similar consultancy firms.
