    Brief

    The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) is seeking market feedback to inform the design of the WM Collaborator Fund, a new support programme for creative businesses. The creative sector in the West Midlands is large and diverse, comprising many small organisations, micro-businesses, and freelancers. While existing business and skills support is available, identified gaps show that creative businesses need better help progressing, scaling, and accessing higher-value opportunities. This pre-market engagement exercise will gather information about current challenges, test proposed approaches, identify effective delivery models, and collect feedback to shape future programme design and procurement. This is an information-gathering exercise only and does not commit WMCA or participants to future procurement or provide preferential treatment. Interested suppliers are invited to join an online engagement event on 26th October at 1:30pm via Microsoft Teams. To receive the invitation link, submit your interest by 5pm on 23rd October through the Bravo Portal (project reference: project_1254). All questions should be submitted through the portal, not direct contact with WMCA officers.
