## Summary

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, located in Northallerton, United Kingdom, has recently completed the award stage of a tender process to develop an Investment Strategy. The procurement falls under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services, with a specific focus on public and private sector investment opportunities within the subregion. The contracting process was initiated through an open competition method, and the awarding of the contract took place on 23rd May 2025. The project has a contract value of £100,000 for an initial term starting on 3rd June 2025 and potentially extending until 27th May 2026.

This tender offers businesses the chance to play a pivotal role in shaping the investment landscape of York and North Yorkshire, promoting strategic growth and attracting investments. The contract work includes creating an Investment Strategy, prioritisation assessment tools, and an Investment Pitchbook, which are essential for engaging investors. Ideal contenders for this contract were likely businesses skilled in investment strategy development, consultancy, and research in both public and private sectors. Despite the opportunity being well-suited for large firms like KPMG LLP, there was potential for SMEs and VCSEs, signalling an opening for diverse business involvement in future contracts as shown by the project requirements and procurement process.

## Notice

The York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority requires an Investment Strategy which will support decision-making around future investment and prioritisation of propositions. This piece of work includes three key outputs: 1. Investment Strategy: an overarching narrative of current and future investment opportunities across the subregion, including both private and public sector investment opportunities. This should set out the parameters, priorities, uses and constraints of Combined Authority funding. Examples: West of England Combined Authority's Investment Strategy and Liverpool City Region Combined Authority's Investment Strategy 2023. 2. Prioritisation Assessment Tool: an assessment tool or framework which enables the Combined Authority to objectively assess the potential strategic impact of projects and their investment readiness. This must be done in an easily accessible manner for Combined Authority officers. 3. Investment Pitchbook: an external 'Investment Pitchbook' which highlights flagship projects and articulates a clear pathway to attracting investment. This document will be critical for engaging potential investors and promoting the growth opportunities within York and North Yorkshire. The Investment Strategy will sit alongside a number of other key strategic documents for the Combined Authority, including the emerging Local Growth Plan. The initial 7 month term has been budgeted at PS80,000, with the option to extend for a further 6 months with a cost of PS20,000. Therefore, the possible total contract value is PS100,000.
