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. ## CPV classification Corporate finance and venture capital services Portfolio management services Financial consultancy services Project-management services other than for construction work Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-06e69b-2026-10-08T07:55:35+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-06e69b-2026-10-08T07:55:35+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
