This is a large award for Business Services — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 57,319 valued Business Services tenders in our corpus.
The aim of the Supply Chain Transition (IZ) Programme is to help at least 56 manufacturing businesses in the West Midlands to diversify their customer base and win new orders in growing areas of the local economy (as defined in the WMCAs 'Plan for Growth').
They will achieve this by working with a dedicated Delivery Partner (the successful supplier), who will provide one-to-one technical coaching on how to improve business performance, create action plans detailing the steps required to achieve growth and deliver training programmes in change management.
The Delivery Partner will also be responsible for distributing grant funding.
These grants (worth £1.5m p/a) will be used as a contribution towards the costs associated with research and development projects identified in the action plans, focusing on helping supported businesses to transition into new, and growing supply chains.
The initial contract duration is June 2025 to 31st March 2026 for a total value of £2,939,757 (exc.
VAT).
Please note however, the WMCA has incorporated three separate 1 year (12 month) extension options into the contract and each extension is worth up to £2,939,757, subject to funding availability and mutual agreement between the WMCA and successful Delivery Partner.
This means a total potential contract value of £11,759,028 (exc.
VAT) between June 2025 and 31st March 2029.
