About the buyer

External frameworks including the Crown Commercial Service, YPO and NEPO let the authority procure goods, works and services without running a full tender.

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.
