## Description
The West of England Combined Authority (WECA) is undertaking preliminary market engagement to support the development of its proposed Mass Transit Framework.
As the Mass Transit Programme continues to develop, WECA is seeking to engage with the market at an early stage to better understand supplier capacity, capability and views on how the market can effectively support the scale, pace and complexity of the programme ahead.
The programme is supported by a £150 million Transport for City Regions (TCR) allocation for Mass Transit, reflecting the scale of investment and delivery ambition over the coming years.
As part of this preliminary market engagement, WECA will hold an in-person Industry Engagement Day on 21 September 2026.
Event details
Date: 21 September 2026
Format: In person
Venue: Ground Floor, 70 Redcliff Street, Redcliffe, Bristol, BS1 6AL
Time: 09:30-11:30
WECA's preference is for suppliers to attend the event in person to support an open and collaborative discussion. However, where reasonable adjustments are required to enable participation, WECA will consider arrangements for hybrid attendance. Suppliers should identify any such requirements when registering their interest.
The event will provide an opportunity for WECA to share further context on the Mass Transit Programme, emerging requirements and anticipated future pipeline of work, while also hearing directly from the market about how the proposed framework and future delivery arrangements can be structured as effectively as possible.
In particular, WECA is interested in exploring:
• The market's capacity and capability to support the Mass Transit Programme and its anticipated pipeline;
• Current and emerging resource and capacity constraints, and how these could be addressed;
• Opportunities for greater collaboration across the supply chain, including approaches to subcontracting, consortia and other delivery models;
• How suppliers can work effectively alongside one another, including the sharing and integration of information and designs across different elements of the programme;
• What the West of England Combined Authority can do as a client to make the proposed framework and future opportunities attractive and effective for the supply chain; and
• Any other barriers, opportunities or lessons learned that should inform WECA’s approach.
The Industry Engagement Day will be designed as an open and collaborative discussion and will include a roundtable session, giving participants the opportunity to provide feedback and help inform WECA’s developing approach.
Further supplier engagement
Following the Industry Engagement Day, WECA will undertake further one-to-one engagement with suppliers to explore relevant themes arising from the event in greater detail. There will be opportunity to book-in these further one-to-one sessions on the day. 
Details of any further engagement, including how suppliers can express an interest in participating and how sessions will be managed if deman...
