## Summary

The West Midlands Growth Company Limited is conducting the "UK House & Games Time Activity Scoping" procurement process, focusing on research and development services related to the Commonwealth Games. This procurement, which is currently in the Award stage, was initiated on 11th February 2022 and involves a limited award process without prior publication. The successful supplier, Mickledore Limited, will deliver essential promotional and business development activities to enhance the visibility of the West Midlands during the Games, with particular emphasis on the Queen’s Baton Relay events.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in event management, marketing, and stakeholder engagement, especially those specialising in major sporting events. Companies with expertise in delivering integrated programmes and capacity-building during large-scale events would be particularly well-suited to compete in future procurements. The focus on showcasing and promoting activities related to the Commonwealth Games offers avenues for growth and partnership within the vibrant landscape of public and private collaboration in the UK.

## Notice

WMGC is undertaking a large amount of work on profile raising, promotion and setting out investment propositions in advance of the Commonwealth Games. This is particularly focused, but not exclusively, on the events surrounding the Queens Baton Relay through the Commonwealth nations. The work will continue in the run up to the Games with a significant amount of activity taking place during the period of the Games - the promotional and business development work during the Games is taking part in'UK House'. There is now a need to start putting detailed plans in place for those activities and with all of the other work underway, there is a need to build greater short term capacity within the WMGC team.
