## Summary

Cheshire West and Chester Council has successfully completed a procurement process titled "Cheshire and Warrington Combined Authority India Engagement Evidence Base and Programme Planning," which focuses on services within the business development consultancy sector. This contract, awarded on 9th July 2026, and set to be active until 18th December 2026, is carried out under a limited procurement method, suggesting a relatively low threshold of competition. The procurement aims to enhance trade and investment between India and the UK, involving various aspects such as proposition development, stakeholder mapping, and cultural awareness. The project is situated in the UK, specifically targeting the Cheshire and Warrington area for implementation. The awarded contract holds potential for a three-month extension, allowing further engagement till March 2027, dependent on project needs.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses with expertise in UK-India trade relations, particularly those capable of providing strategic insights and facilitation in international engagement projects. Firms with established networks and experience in working with public sector partnerships could greatly benefit from engaging with such procurements. SMEs, like the UK-India Business Council, which successfully secured the contract, exemplify the ideal candidates—those possessing specialised knowledge and a track record of delivering consultancy services aligned with business development and programme planning in international markets. This contract is not only a gateway to demonstrating capability but also a stepping stone towards establishing long-term partnerships with regional authorities seeking to expand their economic engagements internationally.
