West Yorkshire Combined Authority: which contracts run out next, and who holds them.
West Yorkshire Combined Authority is a combined authority in Yorkshire and the Humber. We hold 741 of its award notices, 86 contracts due to end within 18 months, and 2 committee papers from the last 120 days that talk about buying. Everything here comes from public records: award notices the council itself published, and the papers it publishes before each committee meeting.
Data updated: 20 September 2026 (committee papers) | 18 September 2026 (award notices)
GovLeads reads West Yorkshire Combined Authority's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 555 of those 741 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.

Biggest suppliers
Ranked by total awarded value across every West Yorkshire Combined Authority award notice we hold. Values on multi-supplier frameworks are shared across the suppliers named on them, so a place on a large framework does not inflate a single firm.

| Bamford Bus Company Limited, trading as Wrightbus | £71.4m | 1 |
| Alexander Dennis Limited | £71.4m | 1 |
| Yorkshire Energy Services CIC T/A YES Energy Solutions | £66.8m | 3 |

Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards West Yorkshire Combined Authority has notified in the last year. Awards sharing a title and end date are collapsed into a single row, so a framework or dynamic purchasing system appears once rather than once per supplier.
| Award | Supplier | Value | Route |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bus Reform Fleet2 award notices, shown once | framework, 2 suppliers | £143m | Other |
| Huddersfield Bus Station Renovation (Construction Phase) | Willmott Dixon Construction Limited | £13.8m | Not applicable |

How the money is awarded
62% of West Yorkshire Combined Authority's awarded value went through open competition and 4% was awarded directly. A further 24% sits on notices that do not state a route at all. Directly awarded work is the part of the market that never reaches a competitive notice, so it is the part you have to see coming upstream.
- Competed 62% (£530m)
- Other/Unspecified 24% (£200m)
- Framework/DPS 10% (£87.6m)
- Direct 4% (£32.9m)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for West Yorkshire Combined Authority, of those with an end date inside 18 months. A re-procurement decision normally reaches a committee months before the contract itself runs out, which is the point at which scope is still moveable, so the months-left column matters as much as the value.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 Oct 2027 | 13 | Energy Efficiency and Carbon Reduction Services3 award notices, shown once | framework, 3 suppliers | £200m |

Procurement radar
Committee papers West Yorkshire Combined Authority published in the last four months whose title uses the language of buying: a tender, an award, an extension, a gateway report, a waiver, or a procurement strategy, policy or performance report. It is a title match, so the odd paper lands here on a word rather than a decision.
| Meeting | Paper | Committee |
|---|---|---|
| 18 Sep 2026 | Item 6i - Proposed Commissioner sections for SSOsEach member of the scrutiny hearing panel will be given the opportunity to ask a Mayoral Commissioner Nominee questions. | Scrutiny Committee |
| 25 Jun 2026 | Item 12 - Corporate Governance Code and FrameworkThat the Combined Authority approves and adopts the revised Corporate Governance Code and Framework. | Combined Authority Board |

Where West Yorkshire Combined Authority spends most
The service areas taking the largest share of awarded value here. Each one has its own page explaining what we watch for.
Where this comes from
Awards, suppliers and expiry dates come from award notices published to Contracts Finder and Find a Tender by West Yorkshire. The award data set was last refreshed on 18 September 2026, so notices published since then are not yet counted here. Values are as notified; where a notice names several suppliers, the value is shared across them.
Committee papers and meeting dates come from West Yorkshire Combined Authority's own published papers, at https://westyorkshire.moderngov.co.uk. Every paper linked above is on the council's own site. Committee-paper figures were extracted on 20 September 2026.
What we leave out. A notice naming more than one buying authority is excluded, because it does not say how the value splits between them. So are notices from bodies that share this council's name but are separate organisations, such as the local college or NHS trust. Both would otherwise be counted here as West Yorkshire's.
Nothing on this page is modelled, estimated or inferred. Every number is a count or a sum over those two public sources. Where a figure would be a guess, it is left out.
