What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Supply Chain Transition Programme aims to help at least 160 businesses in the West Midlands over an 18-month period, ending in March 2025. The target audience that the programme aims to support are businesses who are vulnerable to sectors dependent on fossil fuel extraction and combustion, such as the oil & gas industry, internal combustion engine manufacture or supplying other vulnerable or declining sectors and who are registered in the local authorities of Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall or Wolverhampton, or with premises where over 75% of national activity takes place. The support will help businesses win new orders in the primary and nascent clusters specified in the WMCA Plan for Growth.
