Tender description

The Combined Authority is looking to appoint an independent organisation to recruit, manage and facilitate a new Accessibility Design Reference Group (ADRG). The ADRG membership will consist of individuals with lived experience of disabilities, long-term health conditions, including both physical and non-physical impairments, and other accessibility barriers. The group's primary purpose is to leverage the lived experience of members to constructively give views on barriers to accessing transport across all modes and act as scheme design reference support. By doing so, members will help identify and remove barriers to transport across West Yorkshire, helping to make our network work for everyone.

About the buyer

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority buys as a local government organisation, with its own Commercial and Procurement team supporting colleagues across the authority. Tenders are published through YORtender, the authority's e-procurement system. Some opportunities also appear on Contracts Finder and the Find a Tender Service. Smaller contracts go out as Requests to Quote, with Invitations to Tender used for larger opportunities. External frameworks including the Crown Commercial Service, YPO and NEPO let the authority procure goods, works and services without running a full tender. The team also builds social value into its procurement processes.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority's contract awards have been in business services, software and information systems and architectural and engineering services.
