## Summary

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority is seeking a Strategic Development Partner for the Transforming Cities Fund Programme, which falls under the services category, specifically focusing on development consultancy services. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, following a selective procurement method that was restricted to bidders who had successfully applied to the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The contract, valued at £1,950,000, was signed on 26 August 2020. The successful company will provide multi-disciplinary support for the development of 22 project packages aimed at improving public and sustainable transport connectivity in the Leeds City Region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in development consultancy, engineering design, transport modelling, and feasibility assessments. Companies that have experience in multi-disciplinary project support and have the capability to deliver complex transport and infrastructure projects would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with this contract can enable growth and visibility for businesses within the public sector, especially those committed to enhancing urban infrastructure as part of wider governmental initiatives to drive productivity through improved transport connections.
