Tender description

The West Midlands creative economy is supported by a diverse ecosystem of creative businesses, freelancers, cultural organisations, networks and sector bodies. While the region has significant strengths and growth opportunities, evidence gathered through the Creative Places Growth Fund programme highlights ongoing challenges around fragmented networks, limited collaboration between places and sectors, uneven access to opportunities, and leadership capacity constraints within creative organisations. To address these challenges, West Midland Combined Authority (WMCA) is exploring the development of a support programme combining grant funding and tailored development support across two interconnected workstreams with an indicative value of approximately £2-2.5million.

About the buyer

West Midlands Combined Authority runs regional transport, growth and skills programmes for seven West Midlands councils, and buys as a local authority with its own procurement team. Transport for West Midlands, the authority's transport arm, procures local transport policy and delivery on its behalf. The Mayor and the leaders of the seven constituent councils sign off major contracts through the authority's board.

A rolling pipeline lists larger opportunities expected over the next eighteen months.

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