Contract for service providers
The WMCA will awarded delivery via Contracts for service following procurement exercises.
Each contract for service is awarded in line with the specification for the relevant Lot or programme. Contract for services providers should review the contract term as set out in the specification. Contract allocation is subject to an agreed delivery plan and financial funding forecast.
Delivery profiles will be agreed upon for each provider in receipt of a Contract yearly in order to monitor performance.
The WMCA will pay providers based on actual delivery, paid monthly in arrears.
We will hold performance management meetings up to three times a year which will focus on how you are progressing towards achieving the activity set out in your Delivery Plan, and funding returns. We will reserve the right to also monitor how you are delivering against your social value metrics.
At these points, significant under-delivery may result in contract reductions. You can voluntarily reduce your funding allocations as soon as you are aware that you may have potential under-delivery.
We will be open to discussions about growth in year but there is no guarantee that we will be able to award this. Any growth requests will need to follow the WMCA business case process and will need to be in line with the WMCA Investment priorities and affordability.
Over delivery and/or delivery towards non-approved qualifications will not be funded unless an appropriate Business case has been submitted and approved in writing by WMCA.
