    Brief

    The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) is developing a £2-2.5 million support programme to strengthen the creative economy across the region. The initiative addresses key challenges identified in the creative sector including fragmented networks, limited cross-sector collaboration, uneven access to opportunities, and insufficient leadership capacity within creative organisations. The programme will combine grant funding with tailored development support delivered through two interconnected workstreams. WMCA is conducting pre-market engagement to understand current sector challenges, validate the proposed approach, identify effective delivery models, and gather stakeholder feedback. This consultation will directly inform the final programme design, scope, outcomes, and delivery methods for any future commissioned activity. Potential suppliers and delivery partners are invited to contribute insights that will shape this significant investment in the West Midlands creative sector.
