Tenderline summary generated from the published notice
Executive Summary: West Yorkshire Combined Authority: "West Yorkshire Supply Chain Programme". Published status: planned. Published value: £2,000,000. 1 published lot. Recorded submission deadline: 9 Nov 2026, 14:00 GMT. Published submission portal: uk.eu-supply.com.

Official Requirement Description:

West Yorkshire Combined Authority would like to invite interested suppliers to take part in this pre-market engagement activity to support the development of a West Yorkshire Supply Chain Programme. The main aim of this engagement includes gaining market insights, understanding market practices, and helping shape the final statement of requirements. West Yorkshire has a strong manufacturing economy worth £7.7 billion and employing around 110,000 people. The region is home to nearly 6,000 manufacturing SMEs which play a crucial role within local, national and international supply chains. However, there is currently a gap in dedicated supply chain support, with many SMEs facing challenges around supply chain fragmentation, procurement readiness, diversification, access to new markets and engagement with larger organisations. These challenges can limit business growth, competitiveness and resilience. The Combined Authority is seeking to procure an experienced delivery partner to design and deliver a comprehensive supply chain support programme across West Yorkshire. The programme will support manufacturing SMEs to strengthen supply chain capability, diversify into high-growth sectors including defence and energy security, improve procurement readiness, secure relevant accreditations, adopt new technologies and access opportunities with OEMs, Primes and larger organisations. The programme will also facilitate engagement activities, networking opportunities, workshops, masterclasses and business support interventions that help businesses secure new contracts and grow within regional, national and international supply chains. Please note that this PPN is for prior information only, to inform potential suppliers of an upcoming opportunity and an engagement event for those interested in bidding. Additional Information A pre-market engagement event will be held via Microsoft Teams on Wednesday 23rd September from 13:00 – 14:00. Attending will be members of the Combined Authority’s Advanced Manufacturing Team and Commercial Team. This session will give an overview of the Combined Authority’s requirements and procurement process and allow prospective bidders to ask detailed questions. To attend the session, the registration link can be found in the attached document.

    Coverage: 2 active published awards; 0 bid reports (which may be per lot); 2 valued awards. Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Every figure carries an evidence level: Robust (5+ observations), Moderate (3–4), Indicative (1–2). Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.
